Former Tennessee Lineman Lampley Joins LSU Coaching Staff

Former Tennessee offensive lineman Jackson Lampley is beginning his coaching career as an offensive coaching intern at LSU under head coach Brian Kelly. Lampley, a Nashville native and Tennessee legacy recruit, played six years for the Volunteers, appearing in 52 games and contributing to Tennessee's first College Football Playoff appearance. His father, Brad Lampley, also played offensive line for Tennessee and has a deep coaching and sports administration background, influencing Jackson's passion for coaching. Lampley expressed pride in his time at Tennessee and gratitude to the coaches and staff who supported him, emphasizing the challenge of securing a first coaching opportunity at an elite program like LSU. LSU, coming off a 9-4 season, has high expectations for 2025 with returning quarterback Garrett Nussmeier, making it a significant environment for Lampley to start his coaching journey. The move highlights the continuation of the Lampley family's football legacy and Jackson's transition from player to coach within the competitive SEC landscape.
