The Baltimore Ravens ran for an NFL-best 3,189 yards in 2024, behind a behemoth offensive line, then spent three picks in the 2025 NFL Draft to add to the continuity of the group in charge of keeping quarterback Lamar Jackson upright.

Two of those came from LSU, the last of them a local kid, as the Ravens grabbed Clarkston native Garrett Dellinger with their seventh-round pick, No. 243 overall.

He’s the first player from the Clarkston program to get drafted.

Per ESPN’s Jamison Hensley, Dellinger was flagged for just two penalties in 1,937 snaps with the Tigers, starting 30 of his 41 games in an LSU uniform.

After bouncing all over the line in his first two seasons in Baton Rouge — playing in 21 games with 10 starts (three at LT, 6 at LG, 1 at C) — the 6-foot-4, 322-pound Dellinger started all 13 games at left guard in 2023, when his squad was a finalist for the Joe Moore Award, given go the nation’s top OL unit.

He started seven games at left guard last season, before missing the second half of the season following surgery on a high ankle sprain.

Dellinger was a four-star prospect in high school, per 247Sports, ranked the No. 13 offensive tackle in the nation, and the No. 5 prospect in Michigan that year.

He helped lead the Wolves to the 2018 Division 1 state championship game as a sophomore, a 31-30 loss to Chippewa Valley.

Dellinger was part of a state-wide recruiting class that included high school teammate Rocco Spindler (Notre Dame/Nebraska), Belleville’s Damon Payne (Alabama/Michigan), Oak Park’s Rayshaun Benny (Michigan) and Sterling Heights Stevenson’s Giovanni El-Hadi (Michigan).

Dellinger was the third Oakland County prep player drafted this weekend, with West Bloomfield cornerback Maxwell Hairston (Kentucky) going to Buffalo in the first round and Brother Rice’s Luke Newman (Holy Cross/Michigan State) to the Bears in the sixth round.

The Ravens took Dellinger’s LSU linemate, right tackle Emery Jones, in the third round.
