LSU Pipeline to Super Bowl LX: Six Tigers Suit Up on the Game’s Biggest Stage
When the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks clash in Super Bowl LX this Sunday, LSU fans will have more than a passing interest in the outcome. Six former Tigers are set to take the field, continuing a remarkable 25-year streak of LSU alumni appearing in the NFL’s biggest game. And this year, the Bayou Bengals are making their presence felt in a big way-especially on the Patriots’ side of the ball.
Let’s break down the six LSU products who’ll be suiting up in Las Vegas and what they bring to the table on football’s grandest stage.
Will Campbell - LT, New England Patriots
Drafted fourth overall in 2025, Will Campbell didn’t need much time to prove he belonged in the NFL trenches. The former LSU left tackle came into the league with a reputation for durability and consistency-traits he backed up with 38 consecutive starts in college. Over those three seasons, he allowed just five sacks in 2,553 snaps, showing a maturity and technique well beyond his years.
In New England, Campbell has stepped into a critical role protecting the quarterback’s blind side. Through 13 regular season and three postseason games, he’s been tested by some of the league’s top edge rushers.
Eight sacks and 31 pressures allowed may not look perfect on paper, but for a rookie anchoring the left side in a playoff run? That’s a strong foundation.
His development has been a key storyline in the Patriots' resurgence.
Bradyn Swinson - EDGE, New England Patriots
A fifth-round pick in 2025, Bradyn Swinson’s NFL journey is just beginning. He was a disruptive force at LSU, racking up 19.5 tackles for loss and 10.5 sacks in just 25 games. His quickness off the edge and ability to get into the backfield made him a player to watch heading into the draft.
With the Patriots, Swinson has seen limited action so far-just three games and one recorded tackle-but his presence on the Super Bowl roster speaks to the coaching staff’s belief in his upside. He may not be a headliner this Sunday, but don’t be surprised if he finds a way to make his presence felt on special teams or in spot pass-rushing situations.
Anthony Bradford - OG, Seattle Seahawks
Anthony Bradford brings experience and championship pedigree to the Seahawks’ offensive line. A member of LSU’s 2019 national title team, Bradford was drafted in the fourth round in 2023 and has become a reliable piece of Seattle’s interior protection.
At LSU, he allowed just five sacks over 1,062 snaps-a solid mark for a guard facing SEC-level talent week in and week out. In the NFL, he’s built on that foundation with 42 games played, 10 sacks allowed, and 91 pressures. Bradford’s physicality in the run game and ability to anchor against interior rushers will be crucial as the Seahawks look to establish balance against a tough Patriots front.
Jaquelin Roy - DT, New England Patriots
Another LSU national champion from 2019, Jaquelin Roy has taken a winding road to the Super Bowl. Drafted by the Vikings in 2023, Roy eventually landed in New England, where he’s carved out a rotational role on the defensive line.
During his time at LSU, Roy was a steady interior presence with 97 tackles and 13.5 tackles for loss over three seasons. In the NFL, he’s appeared in 18 games with 25 tackles and two sacks-modest numbers, but reflective of a player who does the dirty work in the trenches. His ability to clog running lanes and absorb double teams gives the Patriots flexibility in their defensive fronts.
Kayshon Boutte - WR, New England Patriots
Kayshon Boutte entered the league with high expectations after a standout career at LSU, where he racked up over 1,700 receiving yards and 16 touchdowns in just 21 starts. Drafted in the sixth round in 2023, Boutte has quickly become a reliable target in New England’s passing game.
In 38 games with the Patriots, Boutte has hauled in 78 catches for 1,159 yards and nine touchdowns. He’s not just a deep threat-he’s a polished route runner who can win in the slot or outside, and he’s shown a knack for making big plays in key moments. If the Patriots need a spark on Sunday, don’t be surprised if Boutte is the one providing it.
K’Lavon Chaisson - LB, New England Patriots
K’Lavon Chaisson’s NFL journey has had its ups and downs, but the former first-round pick is now poised to play a key role on a Super Bowl defense. A standout on LSU’s 2019 championship team, Chaisson was known for his explosiveness and versatility off the edge.
After starting his pro career with the Jaguars, Chaisson found a new home in New England. Over 57 NFL games, he’s logged 65 tackles, six sacks, and three forced fumbles. While he may not be the every-down pass rusher some envisioned out of college, he’s become a valuable rotational piece who can set the edge and bring pressure in key situations.
The LSU Legacy Marches On
For LSU, this Super Bowl continues a remarkable tradition-25 straight years with at least one former Tiger in the big game. But this year’s group isn’t just filling roster spots. From foundational linemen like Campbell and Bradford to playmakers like Boutte and veterans like Chaisson, these six players are helping shape the outcome on both sides of the ball.
And for fans of LSU football, Sunday’s game is more than just a championship-it’s another chapter in the program’s growing NFL legacy.
