LSU football is off to an excellent start in the transfer portal, but you can’t land them all.
On Tuesday, LSU tight end target Terrance Carter committed to Texas Tech. LSU was interested in the Louisiana transfer as the Tigers try to rebuild the tight end room following the departures of [autotag]Mason Taylor[/autotag] and [autotag]Ka’Morreun Pimpton[/autotag].
LSU already signed one tight end, adding former Oklahoma TE [autotag]Bauer Sharp[/autotag] over the weekend.
Sharp is your prototypical tight end that can block and catch a pass when needed. LSU was looking to complement Sharp with a receiving threat like Carter.
With Louisiana in 2024, Carter caught 48 passes for 691 yards and four scores. He’ll now try to replicate that production on the Big 12 level.
Along with Sharp, LSU returns [autotag]Trey’Dez Green.[/autotag]
Green was a five-star tight end recruit in 2024, but most of Green’s action came at wide receiver. The coaching staff wasn’t ready to trust Green in a blocking role.
If LSU plans to keep Green at receiver in 2025, the Tigers likely need another tight end.
LSU is also counting on the arrival of four-star TE JD LaFleur.
