A powerlifting-caliber defensive tackle out of LSU whose 740-pound squat matches his reputation as a weight-room monster.
Jacobian Guillory II is a Louisiana native who spent six seasons in the LSU program before turning pro. Known as much for his elite raw strength as his interior pass-rush ability, he went undrafted in the 2026 NFL Draft and signed with the Los Angeles Chargers to compete for a spot on the defensive line.
Path to the league
Guillory, a native of Alexandria, Louisiana, played six seasons at LSU before declaring for the 2026 NFL Draft. His senior season was cut short after just two games when he suffered a season-ending injury against Nicholls. He went unselected in the draft and signed with the Chargers as an undrafted free agent.
Career highlights
A two-time Louisiana high school state champion, Guillory built a reputation at LSU as one of the strongest players in the program, with a competitive powerlifting background that includes a 740-pound squat, 370-pound bench and 625-pound deadlift. That combination of size and raw power made him a disruptive presence at defensive tackle when healthy.
2025 season recap
Guillory's final LSU season was largely lost to injury, limiting him to two appearances before he was shut down for the year. He nonetheless declared for the draft and, after going unpicked, signed with the Chargers as an undrafted free agent to try to prove his health and power translate to the NFL level.
