The LSU Tigers football season is inching closer, now down to double digits on the countdown clock. Kickoff against the Clemson Tigers is now just 70 days away.

As we continue to look back at the history of the Bayou Bandits to celebrate and prepare heading into the first game, there is also the matter of getting to know the current-day players.

Here is a look at the past and present of No. 70 at LSU:

Harper was one of the players who followed Lane Kiffin and the offensive staff over from the Ole Miss Rebels. It makes sense that he would be willing to follow them to the Tigers, seeing as though he's a Louisiana native. Now he gets to head back home and eventually suit up in purple and gold.

The Calvary Baptist Academy alum was a top-100 player coming out of high school and was considered a four-star. He's a versatile athlete who could end up factoring in either inside or out. It's important to note that the team website lists him as an offensive tackle, though.

If Harper is indeed going towards being a tackle, then he probably won't play this year. It could be good to let him sit and learn behind Jordan Seaton and eventually take over the left, though. He could also compete with Weston Davis for the job on the right side.

The 6-foot-4, 315-pound lineman appeared in six games for the Rebels last season at both left and right tackle, mostly on the right. Per Pro Football Focus (subscription required), he did not allow a pressure in 21 opportunities.

No matter what, Kiffin bringing him over means that they have a vision for him either right away or in the future. Having talented depth is a major part of putting together a roster.

Black is one of the most decorated offensive linemen in school history. He was an All-American as a senior and a third-team freshman All-American in his redshirt freshman year. In all four years that he played, he made the All-SEC team. He was a dominant offensive tackle with 53 straight starts at left tackle, which is a school record and one of the longest stretches in the history of the sport. His football career ended there, though, as he never made it to the NFL.
