In 2024, he only played 41 snaps, and 20 of them came at fullback. He did not log any stats in 2025.
At 6-foot-3 and 240 lbs. with fullback experience, it’s obvious Grace’s role could be as a physical presence on the end of the line of scrimmage. He could also provide help on special teams.
LSU returns pass-catching phenom Trey’Dez Green and redshirt freshman JD LaFluer at the position. Pittsburgh transfer Malachi Thomas is already in the transfer class, and freshman JC Anderson is already on campus.
New tight ends coach Joe Cox has plenty at his disposal in 2026.
