LSU football is in the mix for the top-ranked player in the transfer portal.
Former Georgia Tech wide receiver Eric Singleton told On3 his top five schools, and LSU was joined by Auburn, Miami, Texas, and Ole Miss. According to 247Sports and On3, Singleton is the No. 1 ranked transfer in the 2025 cycle.
With the Yellow Jackets in 2024, the sophomore receiver caught 56 passes for 754 yards. In 2023, Singleton hauled in 48 passes for 714 yards and six scores. He’s a versatile playmaker and added 21 carries for 131 yards in 2024.
With 2.23 yards per route run, Singleton ranked eighth among ACC receivers in 2024.
Coming out of high school, Singleton was a three-star prospect and ranked outside the top 1000. The Douglasville, GA native has well exceeded those expectations.
LSU already added one receiver from the transfer portal, signing former Kentucky playmaker Barion Brown. Singleton is of a similar mold, but LSU needs pass-catching help with [autotag]Kyren Lacy[/autotag] and [autotag]Mason Taylor[/autotag] heading to the draft and [autotag]CJ Daniels[/autotag] entering the transfer portal.
LSU head coach Brian Kelly signaled the Tigers would be aggressive this transfer season. LSU has been ambitious so far, getting involved with the portal’s top players.
As of Saturday, LSU has signed three transfers. Brown, cornerback Ja’Keem Jackson, and tight end Bauer Sharp.
