LSU football defensive lineman Kimo Makane’ole is entering the transfer portal, according to A&P Sports Agency.
Makan’ole originally signed with LSU as an offensive lineman in 2021. With LSU having depth issues at defensive tackle, he moved to the other side of the ball. Per the On3 Industry Ratings, Makane’ole was a four-star recruit and the No. 299 overall-ranked player in his class.
Makane’ole saw 21 snaps with the Tigers in 2024. Most of his action came in LSU’s blowout win over Nicholls, where Makan’ole played 13 snaps and assisted on a tackle. That was his only stat recorded this year.
Makan’ole played a role on special teams as a member of LSU’s field goal-kicking unit. He saw 28 special teams snaps in his four years at LSU.
Prior to joining the defense, Makan’ole played 26 and 27 snaps on the offensive line in 2022 and 2023.
With LSU wrapping up its season on Dec. 31, players have five days to enter the transfer portal if they so choose.
