LSU has missed out on several of its top transfer targets along the defensive line during the spring portal window, but it may be in a position to help out its secondary.
On3 first reported earlier this week that the Tigers had made contact with Wake Forest cornerback transfer [autotag]DaShawn Jones[/autotag], and now LSU is attempting to get him on campus for a visit, per Zack Nagy of LSU Country.
Jones, who was a redshirt sophomore for the Demon Deacons in 2023, has played in 22 games over the last two seasons after redshirting in 2021. He started nine of the 10 games he appeared in during the 2023 season, totaling 37 tackles (1.5 for loss), two pass breakups and a team-high three interceptions.
