Sedrick Van Pran screwed us


He signed with UGA three years ago. A school like LSU shouldn't go three years being unable to find a center. In 2020 and 2021 LSU had to rely on a Harvard transfer who had never played center previously. Now, it looks like they are trying to plug a tackle into that role late, with limited success (thus far). Center is probably the most mentally demanding position on the OL, but the least physically demanding. Often times the center is going to have help on blocks.

Given LSU has other "bodies" on the team who would seem like they have the size to play center it sounds like they are very limited in the number of guys who could handle the mental aspect of the position.

On why they moved Dellinger to C, Kelly mentions they like his size at 315 and his lateral movement ability. Says the days of smaller centers are waning with the size defenses are lining up on the nose.

Isn’t this the path Ethan Pocic had to play center? Got moved from a different online position to center? Correct me if I’m wrong.
