LSU football is adding another offensive lineman to its 2026 roster. Offensive tackle Adrian Lamb has committed to the Tigers. The six-foot-six, 295 pound lineman chose LSU over Alabama, Auburn and South Carolina. He last played at Georgia Military Academy so he’s a junior college transfer.

Senior Zach Yorke, who transferred from Grand Canyon University, is expected to start at first base for the Tigers. Yorke is known for being a power hitter, having hit .328 with over 30 home runs in three seasons with the Antelopes, but he also takes pride in playing exceptional defense.

Cut 17 (19)  “…ability this year.”
