LSU has suffered some key losses along the defensive line, particularly its interior, this offseason. But the Tigers are reportedly set to get a major piece back at that spot in 2024.
According to On3’s Shea Dixon, Tigers defensive tackle Jacobian Guillory did not enter his name into the 2024 NFL draft prior to Monday’s deadline and instead plans to return to LSU for what will be his redshirt senior season.
A former four-star prospect from Alexandria, Louisiana, Guillory has mostly been a rotational player in his four years at LSU. He’s appeared in 39 games but made just three starts, two of which came in 2022 and one of which was this past season.
New: #LSU DL Jacobian Guillory didn’t enter his name into the NFL Draft and will return to school, he tells me.
Guillory just had his best season to date. Now, he’s the veteran at the DT position for LSU.

However, Guillory’s role will likely increase significantly in 2024. The Tigers saw both starting defensive tackles — Maason Smith and Mekhi Wingo —declare for the draft. Jordan Jefferson, a graduate transfer from West Virginia who saw starting action when Wingo got hurt, is out of eligibility.
The defensive line will be a major question next season, but new coach Bo Davis will have a veteran piece to work with in Guillory.
