Updated: Sep 27
Updated September 27, 2026. LSU is 3-1 after beating Texas A&M 35-6. The biggest depth-chart change is at linebacker, where captain Whit Weeks is out indefinitely with a broken lower right leg. Reserve linebacker Charles Ross is out for the season with a knee-ligament injury.
Quick answer: LSU's current 2026 depth-chart picture
Sam Leavitt remains QB1 with Landen Clark as the confirmed backup. Dilin Jones leads the running-back rotation. The offensive line remains anchored by Jordan Seaton. Defensively, LSU now has to replace Weeks in the linebacker rotation while continuing to play without season-ending injury absences elsewhere.
