LSU is completely overhauling its roster ahead of the 2022 season, and that goes down to the specialists, too.
On Thursday, the school announced it was bringing in a long snapper from East Carolina.
As you can see below, the Tigers revealed via Twitter that Slade Roy was heading to Baton Rouge for the 2022 season:

Coach Brian Kelly welcomed Roy to Baton Rouge with this tweet:
Every detail matters. Welcome to Long Snapper University, @sladeroy_. Let’s get to work. #GeauxTigers https://t.co/RfgtKqHXpH

Roy was a freshman in 2021 for the Pirate, and handled all the long-snapping duties in the team’s 12 games.
We’ll see if he lands the starting job at LSU this fall, but he already has plenty of experience and could be a long-snapping fixture for the Tigers for the next few years.
