The dynamic Louisiana tackle duo that joined the LSU program together in 2022 and earned their starting roles as true freshman are now both officially NFL-bound on back-to-back days.



<a href="https://www.on3.com/db/emery-jones-145307/">Emery Jones Jr.</a> was selected Friday by the Baltimore Ravens in the third round, with the No. 91 pick overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, marking the first time in program history the Tigers have had two offensive linemen chosen in the first three rounds of the same draft.



The announcement came about 27 hours after friend <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/will-campbell-120693/">Will Campbell</a>, the fourth overall pick, kicked off a historically notable class for the Tigers’ O-line group and program as a whole.



“It’s a blessing, man,” Jones told reporters during Combine week. “Coming in as a freshman at LSU, that’s all we talked about: making it to the NFL. So to be here with him is honestly and truly a blessing. We’ve got a lot of love for this game, and we’re here on one of the biggest stages, going and trying to achieve our dreams. So it’s a blessing.”



The 6-foot-5, 315-pound Baton Rouge native played off the bench in his first two games as a true freshman before taking over the starting role in the SEC opener and never looking back. 



He started a combined 36 games at right tackle during three seasons for the hometown program, earning a variety Freshman All-SEC and Freshman All-America honors in 2022 and back-to-back All-SEC Second-Team selections as a sophomore and junior. 



Whether Jones will remain at tackle in the NFL or kick inside to guard has been among the storylines of his pre-draft process.



And he made a point during his week in Mobile for the Reese’s Senior Bowl to get some reps and film at right guard, along with telling reporters he’s always trying to continue working on his balance, hands and overall technique.



“You can never get good enough — you always wanna try to be climbing,” he said, going on to reference a mantra of his Catholic (Baton Rouge) high school program. “One thing that I kind of pride myself on is: Die climbing. You never stop climbing, no matter where you’re at, how good you’re doing or how bad. You keep climbing.”



Jones joins not only Campbell, but also tight end <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/mason-taylor-84898/">Mason Taylor</a> on their ways into the NFL.



The Tigers have had at least three players selected in every draft since 2001 — a streak of 25 years under four different coaching tenures



This year now marks just the fifth time in the past 60 years — all since 2001 — in which LSU has had multiple offensive linemen selected in the same draft. 



And Campbell and Jones’ three-year running mates up front, guards <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/garrett-dellinger-44925/">Garrett Dellinger</a> and <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/miles-frazier-89674/">Miles Frazier</a> — among other teammates — remain on the board heading into the remaining rounds of the event.
