With [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] in and [autotag]Ed Orgeron[/autotag] out, LSU was bound to see some departures in the transfer portal. It’s natural with coaching changes.
The Tigers probably did better than some expected, not losing a ton of critical players, though there are certainly some that hurt.
Since November, LSU has had 10 players enter the portal. All but one have found their next home, with receiver [autotag]Deion Smith[/autotag] being the lone remaining player to make a decision. Talent-wise, Smith is one of the best remaining players in the portal, but because of the Tigers’ depth at wide receiver, it’s a loss they can deal with.
With transfers, you never know how big of a loss it is until we have time to see how it all played out, though some are more obvious losses than others, such as cornerback [autotag]Eli Ricks[/autotag].
LSU also had a few transfers end up at division rivals, which is still something new to college football. With that said, let’s take a look at where the players who transferred will be playing this fall.
