LSU added to its transfer class on Tuesday afternoon with the commitment of Wisconsin transfer defensive end [autotag]Gio Paez[/autotag].
A native of Los Angeles who attended high school in North Carolina, Paez was a three-star recruit in the 2019 class. He will be entering his sixth season of college football in 2024.
In five years at Wisconsin, Paez appeared in 34 games, making 11 starts. Six of those starts came this past fall as he had a career year, finishing with 23 total tackles. In his career with the Badgers, Paez has 36 tackles (1.5 for loss).
He will have one remaining year of eligibility as a graduate transfer.

While Paez is far from a proven commodity and lacks significant production in his career, he could provide key depth for a defensive line group that is losing a ton of talent from the 2023 season.
