A Quick Look at the 2025 LSU Football Season

As fall approaches in Baton Rouge, one thing is certain: Tiger Stadium will roar again. The 2025 LSU football season is loaded with storylines, new talent, and high expectations. Whether you're a die-hard fan or just enjoy tailgating with family and friends, here's your complete breakdown of what to expect this year from Coach Brian Kelly and the Tigers.

🏈 Key Highlights Going into the 2025 Season

1. Quarterback Situation
Garrett Nussmeier returns as the presumed starter after showing promise in late 2024, including a bowl game win. Known for his big arm and quick release, Nussmeier has a firm grip on the offense but will be pushed by younger talent like Rickie Collins and Colin Hurley.

2. Wide Receiver Reload
With Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas Jr. off to the NFL, the next wave steps up. Keep your eyes on Kyren Lacy, Shelton Sampson Jr., and freshman standout Jalewis Solomon.

3. New Defensive Coordinator
LSU hired Blake Baker to revamp a defense that struggled in 2024. Baker previously coached at Mizzou and is known for aggressive blitz packages and developing linebackers. Expect faster rotations, more sacks, and tighter coverage.

4. Strong Recruiting Class
LSU brought in a Top 10 recruiting class, including:

• Bryce Underwood (QB, class of 2025 commit — still being heavily watched)

• DJ Chester (OL)

• Desmond Ricks (CB)
