LSU players see improved draft stock after win against Clemson
Summary

Following a win against Clemson on September 5, several LSU football players are experiencing shifts in their 2027 NFL draft projections. Offensive tackle Jordan Seaton and tight end TreyDez Green remain listed as first-round candidates in updated evaluations. Quarterback Sam Leavitt and safety Ty Benefield saw their status move up from Day 3 to the third round. Defensive players Jordan Ross, Dashawn Spears, Princewill Umanmielen, and Whit Weeks also maintained or improved their positions heading into the second week of the season. Analysts noted that while Leavitt possesses significant athleticism, his passing consistency remains a focal point for scouts. Ross remains a prospect to watch after a performance against Clemson, though consistent play throughout the season is expected to determine his ultimate draft trajectory.
