LSU’s Joey August is a developmental interior DL with steady grind and real local roots
In the 2025 season, Joey August made his first career appearance for LSU against Southeastern Louisiana but did not record a stat, and he enters 2026 as a redshirt junior still looking for a bigger role. The appeal is less box-score flash and more frame, patience, and long-term development: at around 6-foot-0 and 285 pounds, he’s a compact interior body with SEC-level familiarity and a walk-on-to-roster climb that speaks to buy-in. If you need a plug-and-rotate tackle with upside and toughness, he’s interesting; if you need instant disruption, he’s still a work in progress.
