LSU football will reportedly host another top transfer portal target in the coming days.
According to On3’s Pete Nakos, tight-end Texas A&M TE Donovan Green will visit Baton Rouge this weekend. On3’s Industry Rankings grade him a three-star transfer and rank him No. 25 at his position in the 2025 class.
Green committed to Texas A&M as part of the 2022 recruiting class. Rated a four-star prospect and No. 6 at the position, he chose the Aggies over several SEC teams, including LSU.
After catching 22 passes for 233 yards and a touchdown in his true freshman season, Green suffered a torn ACL that sidelined him all of the 2023 season. He appeared in seven games primarily on special teams last season and is in search of a program where he can be a threat on offense again.
With Mason Taylor heading to the NFL Draft, LSU needs tight ends who can catch passes and contribute as a blocker. It already secured a commitment from Oklahoma’s receiving leader Bauer Sharp.
Green’s six-foot-four, 265-pound frame makes him the perfect candidate to compete for a starting role with the Tigers as Trey’Dez Green continues to develop. He was the only scholarship tight end left before Sharp’s decision as Ka’Morreun Pimpton entered the transfer portal.
