Former Tigers tight end Kole Taylor announced his next stop on Sunday. He’ll be heading to the new-look Big 12 to join the West Virginia Mountaineers
The junior from Grand Junction, Colorado, heads to Morgantown after appearing in 32 games in three years with seven starts. He was a role player and made a minor contribution in the passing game, totaling 159 yards and a touchdown on 17 catches during his team in Baton Rouge.
Taylor entered the transfer portal on Dec. 8, a decision that didn’t come as much of a surprise following the emergence of Mason Taylor, the true freshman who emerged onto the scene this fall and led LSU’s tight ends in receiving yards.

Taylor’s time with LSU will likely be best remembered by his role in the upset win over Florida in 2020 when his cleat was thrown by Gators cornerback Marco Wilson, resulting in a 15-yard penalty that set up the game-winning field goal.
LSU will have Mason Taylor back next fall and signed a pair of tight ends in the 2023 class in [autotag]Mac Markway[/autotag] and [autotag]Ka’Morreun Pimpton[/autotag].
