Though the official deadline to enter the transfer portal and maintain immediate eligibility passed on May 1, there can always be attrition during the summer ahead of fall camp.
It seems that has happened at LSU as a pair of veteran linebackers — [autotag]Antoine Sampah[/autotag] and [autotag]Phillip Webb[/autotag] — are no longer listed on the 2022 roster. Both joined the team as members of the 2020 recruiting class and were ranked as top-100 national prospects coming out of high school.
However, injuries limited them over the course of their careers. Sampah appeared in just six games in three years while not recording any defensive stats, while Webb has only played in three games. All of those came last season, and he registered a single assisted tackle during the 2022 campaign.
The Tigers have a good amount of depth at linebacker with returning players like [autotag]Micah Baskerville[/autotag], [autotag]Greg Penn III[/autotag] and [autotag]Mike Jones Jr.[/autotag], in addition to incoming five-star true freshman [autotag]Harold Perkins[/autotag].
