LSU fans who stayed up until the late hours on Wednesday night were treated to some huge news from the transfer portal front.
UC San Diego right-handed pitcher transfer [autotag]Anthony Eyanson[/autotag] committed to the Tigers out of the portal, adding a player with starter stuff to an already loaded haul of transfer pitchers. Eyanson visited LSU last weekend, and now he’s joining a transfer class that is already ranked No. 1 in America.
In 82 innings for the Toreros as a sophomore in 2024, he finished with a 6-2 record and 3.07 ERA while striking out 85 batters and walking just 24.
The Tigers are set to lose quite a few arms from this past season, including starters [autotag]Gage Jump[/autotag] and [autotag]Luke Holman[/autotag], in all likelihood. [autotag]Griffin Herring[/autotag] is also a pro prospect as is [autotag]Thatcher Hurd[/autotag], who entered the transfer portal and won’t be returning, regardless.

Eyanson could prove to be a Friday night starter for LSU, and he’s sure to be an instant impact player in 2025.
