Doubt it.
I think Kwon and Danielle might stay as well. Don't buy a ticket if you don't want one

Kwon is gone man, sorry.
Poor decision on his part because he's a tweener size wise.

I could see Kwon staying. He's undersized for an NFL LB so I don't know what his draft grades will be.
I'm worried about Danielle though. He's improved a lot this year and you know NFL scouts will be drooling over his athleticism.

While we're not losing 4 starters on the OL, we are likely losing 3 and could potentially have 4, if not 5, new players in terms of position alignment (e.g. Hawkins sliding to LT, Pocic back to C or RT, etc.).
Vadal's stock has really improved and I think he could potentially grade out as a 2nd round pick. He has phenomenal size and athleticism for an interior lineman and has been much more consistent this year. At the very least, his skill set is already comparable to Turner's from last year (and we all know how that turned out).
That means you lose the dominant side of your run blocking, and it also weakens the QB's blindside. Also, let's not underplay the importance of having a quality center. LSU has been very fortunate to have started players such as Wilkerson, Helms, Niswanger, and Lonergan over the years. We'll see if Dodd/Clapp/Pocic can continue the quality play at that position.
The only thing potentially keeping Kwon from leaving this year is his lack of size. However, he certainly has the playmaking ability, speed, and recognition to leave if he chooses.
Danielle is gone for sure. He may not be an elite pass rusher, but he has proven consistent in his ability to help stop the run, pursue the ball, and get his hands up in a manner similar to former Tiger great Tyson Jackson. His combine numbers alone will vault him into the first three rounds.
