LSU OT Ory Williams: A 6-foot-8, 335-pound redshirt freshman from LSU. Played only two seasons of high school football. He was a three-star prospect out of San Marcos High School in Buda, Texas, ranked as the No. 30 offensive tackle in the 2024 recruiting class and the No. 72 player in the state of Texas.


Williams spent the past two seasons at LSU after committing as part of the Tigers’ 2024 recruiting class. A native of San Marcos, Texas, he redshirted his true freshman season and saw limited action, logging just four snaps. His role expanded during the 2025 season, when he played 150 offensive snaps across four games, according to Pro Football Focus.

In those 150 snaps, Williams earned a 67.2 pass-blocking grade and a 66.2 run-blocking grade, finishing the season with a 57.7 overall grade. The numbers reflect a young lineman still adjusting to SEC competition, but one who showed flashes of high-level ability when given extended opportunities.

The bulk of Williams’ action came against SEC competition. He played 106 of his 150 snaps against Alabama and Arkansas, two games that highlighted both his upside and areas for growth. Against Arkansas, Williams logged 74 snaps and posted an 87.6 pass-blocking grade with a 65.7 overall grade, one of his strongest performances of the season. His outing against Alabama was more uneven, as he finished with a 45.1 overall grade and a 40.5 mark in pass protection. He did show some effectiveness in the run game, earning a 57.2 run-blocking grade on eight run-blocking snaps.

Physically, Williams fits the mold of a prototypical offensive tackle. He stands 6-foot-8 and weighs 335 pounds, bringing rare size and length to the position. During his time at LSU, he took snaps on both the right and left side of the offensive line, demonstrating positional versatility.

We need immediate starter level players. no more projects, IMO. They are a waste of resources.

We need a utility guy on the OL actually as well

Got a feeling things about to go Ory.

They have 2 starter level OTs. They are shopping for a swing guy.

Wouldn’t be surprised if we take 2, including a swing guy who can play both OT and OG and a pure IOL to compete for a starting job with Sham.

 

[Sandman Vol]

Got a feeling things about to go Ory.

You mean hopefully they don’t?

 

[mprock]

If we are going to compete go get the physical and mental toughness players available. We are too soft.

 

[Jackcrevol]

You mean hopefully they don’t?

We are targeting a Delaware Blue Hen. Things will be fine.

He would be a starter in yr 2

 

[Jackcrevol]

is he the Ory OL we're targeting?

 

[JohnnyJava]

We need a utility guy on the OL actually as well

We also need a designated guy to get hurt after every extra point. Must be able to writhe from pain that does not exist.

 

[Weezer]

If we're relying on Elarbee to develop him, he may never see the field.

Just like Perry

Just like Perry

to be fair thats one guy and we are starting yr 6

Lance Heard is about to get a multi million dollar offer from another team because of his development.

Are we ignoring that Heard earned SEC All-Freshman honors at LSU? The fact is that the bulk of our OL has been made up of transfers. Most of Elarbee's HS recruits have not seen the field here.

we arent or SHOULDNT be looking for development guys out of the portal. You bring in guys that can play NOW. If we are... CJH will be packing his bags in '27.

So what do you have to say about David Sanders then?

I think *where* the OL come from is massively overblown. I do not care.

And Perry and Sham

Sanders is incredibly talented, but also incredibly raw.

I'm fine with not caring "where" they come from, but you should be concerned about how they play. They wilted against good teams this season. They played poorly in the bowl game. We've seen little to no progression on most of these guys. Elarbee is failing to develop.

What about Addison Nichols? Masai Reddick? Savion Herring? Brian Grant? Mo Clipper? Vysen Lang? Ayden Bussell? Bennett Warren? Max Anderson?

There's no denying the misses have grossly outweighed the hits. Pretending otherwise is just naive.

You’re taking issue with S&C coach without realizing it. I’ve got good news.

It was a young OL and they still performed well. They’ll be better next year.
