Dean Kindig
1 solo 1 asst vs SCAR; 1 asst vs Clemson. Only had 4 tackles in 2025. Physical freak (His squat max reached 650 pounds). Expected to be a bigger part of the LSU defense as a junior in 2026. Showed steady improvement throughout the season which saw his play count increase with each game a year ago. Has all of the tools – size, work ethic, grit and determination – to be LSU's next great defensive tackle. Takes up a lot of space in the interior of the defensive line often being double-teamed. Has appeared in 23 games during his career, starting twice – 19 career tackles, 5.0 TFL, 2.0 sacks through two seasons. SEC Freshman of the Week in 2024 after exploding for 4 tackles and 2 sacks vs Oklahoma. Appeared in all 13 games in 2025 with 12 tackles, 2.0 TFL and 1 sack including key pressures in SEC battles.
Full player profileDean Kindig
Excellent strike, power, extension, excellent use of arms and hands, controls the action, nice change of direction and burst in pursuit. Direct college teammates with Buffalo's rookie offensive lineman Ar'maj Reed-Adams during the 2024 season.
