The Tigers’ offensive line depth took another hit on Tuesday as backup tackle [autotag]Marcus Dumervil[/autotag] announced that he would be entering the transfer portal.
Dumervil, the nephew of former NFL star Elvis Dumervil, is a third-year sophomore and former top 150 prospect. The 6-foot-5, 306-pound Fort Lauderdale native attended St. Thomas Aquinas High School appeared in 15 games during his time with the Tigers.
“I will forever cherish the memories and friendships that I have made at LSU,” he said in his announcement post on Twitter. “Thank you to everyone who has ever helped me during my time here. LSU has done good business with me. With that being said I will be closing this chapter of my life. I will be entering the transfer portal with 3 years of eligibility.”

He appeared in just five games this fall in a backup role, burning his redshirt in the SEC Championship Game loss to Georgia. However, Dumervil says in his post that he still has three remaining years of eligibility.
Dumervil becomes the second offensive lineman to enter the portal, joining [autotag]Cameron Wire[/autotag]. Both losses will hurt this team’s depth, though neither played a major role on the field in 2022.
