Following the team's fifth spring practice Saturday morning, Brian Kelly told reporters that LSU is transitioning its annual spring football game that caps the spring session and its 15 allotted practices to a "much more engaging event for our fans with our players."

Instead of playing a traditional spring game, LSU football is making an adjustment. LSU announced Friday it will have an open practice April 12 inside Tiger Stadium with an autograph session for fans afterward. Gates open at 9:30 a.m., and it is free to attend.

Returners comprised the preliminary first-team offense. Aaron Anderson, Zavion Thomas and Chris Hilton were the receivers. Trey’Dez Green was the tight end, Caden Durham was the running back, and each of the five starters on the offensive line were players who appeared in games for LSU during the 2024 season.
