LSU has already landed one Mississippi State transfer this offseason in receiver [autotag]Zavion Thomas[/autotag], and its looking to land one of his teammates as well in cornerback [autotag]Decamerion Richardson[/autotag].
According to a report from 247Sports’ Matt Zenitz, the Tigers will be hosting the veteran transfer. Like Thomas, he’s a Louisiana native who hails from Cullen and played his high school ball at Bossier.
Richardson will be a fifth-year senior in 2024, and he brings quite a bit of SEC experience to the table. He’s appeared in 45 games in four years in Starkville, making 26 starts including every game over the past two seasons.
According to Zenitz, Richardson has also visited Oregon.

Cornerback depth was a major issue for the Tigers in 2023, and with one of its top contributors entering the portal in [autotag]Sage Ryan[/autotag], landing a plug-and-play starter like Richardson would be huge.
