One-Liners
Guard with good size, very good athleticism and above-average strength. Ingram’s aggressiveness and versatility make him a fit in any scheme
Pros:
Left guard with good size and great length. Ingram is a very good athlete with very quick feet and the ability to work in space. His athleticism is apparent when asked to pull, staying low and delivering a blow. Ingram is aggressive at the line of scrimmage, creating a push with good leverage and explosiveness out of his hips. He can wrestle and twist opponents to finish. Understanding run schemes, Ingram seals lanes and works favorable angles around the line of scrimmage. He possesses above-average grip strength, gets his hands inside and is able to redirect. His initial blow is very strong. In pass protection, he has the foot speed and urgency to mirror and sustain while already engaged. Great length allows him to keep defenders out of his frame upon locking out. Ingram uses his strength to absorb blitzers from the second level and has an above-average anchor to combat power rushes.
Cons:
Aggressiveness causes Ingram to whiff at times when he lunges at quicker opponents. His leg drive is below-average, making him unable to drive defensive linemen. Quick rushers can cross his face from where he is unable to recover. Late in plays, Ingram occasionally stops his feet and gets pushed over. His mental alertness is below-average, often not finding work in pass protection and failing to pass off stunts in time. His stance can give away his set.
Summary:
Good sized guard with great arm length and very good athleticism. Ingram is proficient in space and aggressive at the line of scrimmage to move opponents. He can whiff against quicker defenders and plays with below-average mental alertness. Ingram projects as a starting guard early in his career. He can be a solid starter in any scheme, given his athleticism and strength.
Background:
Ingram attended DeSoto high school where he helped lead DeSoto to a perfect 16-0 record in 2016 and was a member of the Texas 2016 6A-Division II State Championship team. After high school, 247Sports ranked him as a 4-Star recruit, the 201st-best recruit nationally, the 13th-ranked guard recruit in the country and the 33rd recruit in the state of Texas.
Ingram committed to LSU and as a true freshman in 2017 he appeared in 13 games and started 12 with eight coming at right guard and four at left guard. In 2018, Ingram did not participate in football and redshirted his year due to being arrested on allegations of aggravated sexual assault on a minor. LSU suspended him indefinitely on August, 3, 2018 and the charges were eventually dropped during September of 2019, allowing him to return to the team. In 2019, he appeared in 12 games but started just two, showcasing the need for him to earn his role after sitting out a year. In 2020, Ingram was back to his usual role, appearing in nine games and starting all nine at left guard. In 2021, he played and started all 11 games at left guard and was named Second-Team All-SEC by the coaches.
Ingram is well-respected by his peers and running back John Emery is happy to have Ingram block for him, “He’s powerful. We trust Ed. I know I can trust him. He barely even makes mistakes in the game. He always executes on every play.” As Ingram returned for his senior season, he showed the self-awareness to develop his improvement areas, “I worked a lot on pass protection. That was one of my biggest problems coming back. I had to get back into my rhythm and learn the techniques. Being more technical in what I do, trying to calm myself down in actual games to make things slower.”
