LSU football boasts one of the most talented rosters in college football, which is reflected in Phil Steele’s All-SEC predictions.
Steele, the author of Phil Steele’s College Football 25 Preview, included four Tigers on his First-Team All-SEC roster.

On offense, Garrett Nussmeier headlines the group with Steele giving Nussmeier the nod over Arch Manning and LaNorris Sellers. Nussmeier was joined by one of his top pass catchers — dynamic slot wide receiver Aaron Anderson.
Anderson, a former five-star, was LSU’s leading wide receiver in 2024, catching 61 passes for 884 yards. Of LSU’s five leading receivers from 2024, Anderson is the only returnee. That sets the redshirt junior up for a big year.
On defense, linebacker Whit Weeks makes the cut. Weeks isn’t just garnering All-SEC hype — he’s seen as a strong All-American candidate.
Steele gave LSU its flowers on special teams with kick returner Barion Brown earning First-Team Honors, too. Brown is expected to be one of LSU’s top difference-makers on offense, but he’s dangerous on special teams. At Kentucky, Brown returned five kicks for touchdowns.
