LSU’s starting offensive line should look essentially the same in 2023, barring a major surprise. But the Tigers’ depth up front is sure to look a bit different after losing yet another depth player in [autotag]Xavier Hill[/autotag], who entered the transfer portal on Wednesday.
The sophomore and former three-star recruit from Olive Branch, Mississippi, played in seven games during his three seasons with the Tigers. He started twice at left tackle in 2021, but he lost that job to [autotag]Will Campbell[/autotag] this offseason and only appeared in three games this fall with no starts.
Seeing as Campbell won’t be eligible for the draft for two more seasons, Hill’s decision to move elsewhere made sense.
🚨BREAKING🚨 LSU OL Xavier Hill has officially entered the NCAA transfer portal, per @mzenitz.

Hill becomes the third Tigers’ offensive lineman to enter the portal since the conclusion of the regular season, joining Marcus Dumervil and Cameron Wire. He’ll have several years of eligibility at his next stop.
