Former LSU offensive tackle [autotag]Lance Heard[/autotag] may be staying in the SEC.
After appearing in 12 games as a true freshman with one start at right tackle, the former five-star recruit from Monroe, Louisiana, opted to enter the transfer portal. And on Friday, he received a prediction in favor of the Tennessee Volunteers from On3.
We’ll see if that ultimately comes to pass given the fact that it was only logged as a 70% confidence prediction. Heard took a visit to Knoxville last weekend followed by a trip to Norman to visit Oklahoma this week.
Many thought Heard could compete for a starting job next season, but with both tackles returning in [autotag]Will Campbell[/autotag] and [autotag]Emery Jones[/autotag], it was far from a guarantee.
At least Heard and Tennessee won’t be on LSU’s schedule in 2024, if that is ultimately his transfer decision.
