Dean Kindig
Enters his final collegiate season among the highest-rated returning interior defensive linemen in the country. His 84.8 overall grade as a junior ranks third at his position group, trailing only Colorado's EzraChristensen (previously at New Mexico State) and Auburn's Cody Sigler (previously at Arkansas State). Will switch to jersey No. 10 for his final season as a Red Raider. @IC_Draft: "impressed me a ton on film. All-American in '25. 4.5 sacks, 9 TFLs, 84.3 PFN DT Impact grade. Average size, but elite explosive capacity, great size-adjusted power, relentless motor. Love his fit in penetrating, one-gapping schemes."
Full player profileDean Kindig
1 solo 1 asst vs SCAR; 1 asst vs Clemson. Only had 4 tackles in 2025. Physical freak (His squat max reached 650 pounds). Expected to be a bigger part of the LSU defense as a junior in 2026. Showed steady improvement throughout the season which saw his play count increase with each game a year ago. Has all of the tools – size, work ethic, grit and determination – to be LSU's next great defensive tackle. Takes up a lot of space in the interior of the defensive line often being double-teamed. Has appeared in 23 games during his career, starting twice – 19 career tackles, 5.0 TFL, 2.0 sacks through two seasons. SEC Freshman of the Week in 2024 after exploding for 4 tackles and 2 sacks vs Oklahoma. Appeared in all 13 games in 2025 with 12 tackles, 2.0 TFL and 1 sack including key pressures in SEC battles.
