O/U new offensive starters in 2026

Believe a few of the Ole Miss linemen still have eligibility. Just send a jet for them after they get knocked out of the playoffs

Well, he's got of work to do on that o-line that's for sure.

I also think Durham and Berry will both excel under Kiffin, so I hope they don't go anywhere. I'll say 7 new starters, since only 1 RB starts. Durham/Berry, 2 of our OL, and Green.

Ill say 6, but it all depends on who you're counting as a starter this season.

and those really really bad Olinemen that you mentioned and have to go. The Oline is only as good as its weakest link. LSU had at least 3 weak links on any given play. That has to end with an influx of size, talent, strength, brains and mean streak. that went out the door when 66 became a pro. We need 5 more guys like 66

Only players on offense I give a damn about are Trey’Dez, Berry, Curne, Tyree Adams (think he can be really good), and a few of the young bucks at receiver.

I like Durham, wonder if he’ll leave if Lane goes for Lacy. If not, would love to see him and Berry be a true 1-2

QB: All new for all I care
RB: I'd like to see Durham & Berry back, Johnson feels like odd man out if they aren't going to try & use him like Taysom.
WR: Aaron Anderson has another year of eligibility & would love to have him back, Kyle Parker can be a stud in this offense too.
TE: Trey'Dez Green needs to have the offense run through him & Donovan Green can be valuable as an additional body.
OL: Braelin Moore has another year and was your best lineman this year by a lot, Echols & Mubenga both were solid in pass pro and terrible run blockers. You hope some of that was due to coaching & scheme and can be fixed. Carius Curne is a guy you have to get coached up but can be your best guy. Solomon Thomas was a super highly rated kid and was banged up last year. Would love to see him get a look. Bring in two veteran Tackles for sure though that are proven from elsewhere and kick curne in to guard in my opinion.

Way under on 10 IMO. I know no one wants to hear this but I expect multiple starters to return on the OL. Carius Curne, Braelin Moore, Tyree Adams, and DJ Chester all started games this year and have eligibility left. I do think some of the highly touted freshmen like Solomon Thomas are going to break into the lineup, but I’m just not sure we’re going to portal in an entirely new OL. Plus, who’s to say the guys we have are truly irredeemable? How would we know when their coaching came from Brad Davis and Brian Kelly.

I don’t know how much of this is quibbling, but I’d also consider Berry, Green, and Kyle Parker to be returning starters—they DID start games this year and I think they will probably start next year. If not Berry, Caden Durham. I could believe we get Kewan Lacy in the portal though so that’s fair.

I’d bet on a portal QB, a new WR or two, a couple of new OL and maybe a new RB… but that’s still at least 5–6 returning starters
