The LSU Tigers are facing yet another major challenge as star tight end Mason Taylor has officially declared for the NFL Draft, marking the departure of another key player and further shaking the team’s stability.
Taylor, a 6-foot-5 standout, was a cornerstone of LSU’s offense, amassing 1,308 receiving yards and six touchdowns over three seasons. His decision to leave creates a massive void in the Tigers’ offensive scheme, adding to the growing concerns over the team’s balance heading into the new season.
The tight end made a name for himself with clutch performances, including a game-winning catch against Alabama, but now, LSU will have to adjust to life without their reliable playmaker. With limited depth at the position, the Tigers face a critical challenge in finding a suitable replacement before the season kicks off.
Taylor’s departure follows a trend of key LSU stars moving on, raising concerns about whether the team can maintain its dominance in the highly competitive SEC. With uncertainty looming, the Tigers must now rebuild and adapt quickly—or risk falling behind in the race for national contention.
