summary
summary
Mansoor Delane enters LSU as an experienced, battle-tested boundary corner bringing multi-year ACC starting experience into SEC competition. At 6'1", 190 lbs, he offers ideal length, press physicality, and catch-point disruption traits that translate well to LSU’s man-heavy defensive structure.
Delane wins with frame density, release disruption, and vertical phase discipline. His game is built on physicality and positioning rather than elite twitch or top-end recovery speed. The transition to weekly SEC receiver matchups will provide the clearest evaluation of his true NFL ceiling.
If he sustains production against elite competition, Delane projects as a scheme-fit starting boundary corner at the next level.
