The Tigers haven’t had many transfer portal losses in the first two days of it officially being open, but they have seen some attrition.
The latest loss was sophomore cornerback [autotag]Damarius McGhee[/autotag], a former four-star recruit in the 2021 recruiting class from Pensacola Catholic High School in Florida. The news was first reported by On3’s Matt Zenitz.
McGhee seemed to have a promising future with LSU after appearing in 12 games as a true freshman a year ago, including a start in the Texas Bowl against Kansas State. However, McGhee appeared in just one contest (playing two snaps) this season.
He was buried on the cornerback depth chart behind transfer additions [autotag]Mekhi Garner[/autotag], [autotag]Jarrick Bernard-Converse[/autotag] and [autotag]Colby Richardson[/autotag].
🚨BREAKING🚨 LSU DB Damarius McGhee has officially entered the NCAA transfer portal, per @mzenitz.

A former top-200 recruit, McGhee will certainly draw some attention in the portal as he looks for a fresh start elsewhere.
