Campbell, who was the fourth overall selection by the New England Patriots in last month’s NFL Draft, earned his degree in interdisciplinary studies. Campbell earned consensus All-America honors in 2024 and capped his career as one of the most accomplished offensive linemen in program history. He also earned the SEC’s Jacobs Blocking Trophy as the top lineman in the conference.
LSU’s football list includes six players who remain on the active roster as group that includes Nussmeier, Perkins, Damian Ramos, GiVanni Peterson and Noah Nash.

Perkins, also a member of the SEC Academic Honor Roll, graduated in interdisciplinary studies.
