Dean 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.
