Lacy, Daniels, Hilton, Anderson/Thomas, and Taylor/Pimpton/Green.

Wouldn’t surprise me to see both Pimpton and Green in situations like this. Outside of those two, I’d imagine it would be Lacy, Hilton, and Daniels.

I can’t imagine that we have 2 TE’s on the field and neither of them being Mason Taylor

This doesn't answer your question directly, but I wouldn't mind seeing some sort of formation utilizing the 3 TEs. Say its 3rd and short or medium, and having two TEs, and then a third TE as sort-of the traditional "H-back" and putting them in motion (for various reasons). This could really stretch a defense with a threat to run, or have these TEs stressing the D to cover them in these situations.

Its fun to think about and discuss.

100%

You won’t see Green/Pimpton together at all unless it’s garbage time in the 4th.

I’m curious to see what they do with Green this year. I’d imagine they’d like to use his redshirt while still getting him in 4 games to just get comfortable.

Mason and Pimpton should be able to handle the lions share this year and then let Green be a breakout star starting next year

He will not redshirt. Especially with Markway now gone.

There's a 0% chance Green is redshirting now that we are left with just 3 scholarship TEs with Markway leaving.

Green will play plenty now.

Didn't Kelly have a soundbite from yesterdays presser that all 3 could be on the field at the same time? That would be insane!

We did 3 TE sets quite a bit last year, always in short yardage situations though.

That was more Markway/Gilbreath out there with Taylor in run blocking situations.

Yea my point is that we are loaded with talent here. Hoping we see the TEs standout…..also wondering if Sampson starts to carve out a role.

More likely is an 11 personnel package with Taylor and a RB out wide, probably after motion to get a man/zone read.

hat would be a good set but I doubt we see a 5 WR set, I can recall 0 times LSU has done that. I can see a 5 receiver set where one of the 5 is a running back.

That said, I would expect Lacy, Daniels, Hilton, Green, and Emery. Or at least the first 3, one of Taylor/Pimpton/Green and one of Emery/Jackson/Williams

Hilton, Lacy, Daniels are the top 3 receivers without question. The forth seems right now to be Aaron Anderson and the 5th seems like it could be any number of people.

However, I highly doubt to see a situation where Mason Taylor is not on the field with the offense. And the few times hes not I would expect to see either KP or Green in the lineup.

We have 3 legit threats at the Tight End position this year. I would bet to see them all used to give us favorable matchups.

Does Durham have a receiving skill set. I'm sure we'll see Berry be part of a 5 wide receiver set when he gets here but could Durham do it this year?
