No true freshman should ever start on the OL at LSU or any SEac school. Will Campbell will likely be really good for us but he will get his arse kicked out their was a true freshman starting.
LOL, they do it all the time and become NFL starters. Larry Tunsil, Evan Neal Bama (considered a first round prospect this year), Cam Robinson at Bama went in the first round, starting in league, Trey Smith Tennessee earned several All SEC first team honors, Kenyon Green started OL at TAMU and was an All American, Andrew Thomas started all 15 games on UGA's championship appearance team and was the #4 overall pick in 2020, Bryce Foster is starting for TAMU right now, etc, etc.

Vadal Alexander started plenty as as true freshman, but didn't start the year there.

If Campbell is ready, he will start next year.

Collins didn't start as a freshman.

As far as freshmen starting, it's rare, but yeah, it does happen. I don't think you really want to be in that position where you're expecting it, though. OL is more developmental than other positions. If a guy is fairly advanced early on, and it works out, okay, but I wouldn't really put that expectation on a freshman.
