Looking ahead at the position battles as we move towards spring ball. The Tigers saw plenty of movement at the position. It starts with Jontre Kirklin, who moves on after starting the final game at quarterback.

Thus far Kirklin is the only pass catcher that is leaving for the NFL draft. He joined the Tigers in the 2017 recruiting class. After five seasons in Baton Rouge, he moves on to try and make a roster at the NFL level.
Transfer Portal
A total of five receivers entered the transfer portal
- Koy Moore (Oct. 19)
- Deion Smith (Dec. 7)
- Trey Palmer (Dec. 16)
- Alex Adams (Jan. 10)
- Devonta Lee (Jan. 14)
There is a slight chance that Smith could pull his name out of the portal, but that is not a given at this point. Even with six departures from the wide receiver position, LSU is still in a good spot with their group as a whole.
