A former LSU defensive tackle found his next home after entering the transfer portal — Jay’Viar Suggs will be transferring to Wisconsin.
Suggs spent one year at LSU after beginning his career at Grand Valley State. He was part of LSU’s overhauled defensive line room as the Tigers hit the portal hard to find the needed numbers.
Suggs gave LSU 133 defensive snaps, ranking fifth among LSU defensive tackles. According to PFF, Suggs was the top graded of the bunch, thanks to his efficiency rushing the passer.
In just 74 pass rush snaps, Suggs racked up 11 pressures and three sacks. He was charted with eight stops and five solo tackles.
Suggs was not expected to start for LSU in 2025. The emergence of true freshmen Ahmad Breaux and Dominick McKinley and the return of sixth-year defensive tackle Jacobian Guillory would have kept Suggs to a rotational piece.
But Suggs was more than just depth. He has the talent to make an impact at the Power Four level.
