A talented LSU defensive tackle is entering the transfer portal after one year with LSU
Another LSU football defender hit the transfer portal on Wednesday. Jay’Viar Suggs opted to explore options elsewhere, according to a report from On3.
The transfer portal officially opened on Monday, and Suggs is the 13th Tiger to throw his name in.
Suggs spent one year at LSU after transferring from DII Grand Valley State. He wasn’t in a full-time role, but he rotated in, making his biggest impact as a pass rusher.
LSU lacked depth at defensive tackle entering 2024 and was forced to hit the transfer portal just to fill out the room. Suggs was one of those additions.
Depth is in a better spot now, but losing a potential contributor in 2025 hurts.
True freshman Ahmad Breaux and Dominick McKinley both displayed promise as true freshmen, and the Tigers will get veteran Jacobian Guillory back as he returns from an Achilles injury.
LSU will count on those three to anchor the defensive line in 2025.
LSU’s offensive line struggled and the Tigers fell flat in the fourth quarter as LSU dropped one on the road
Last weekend, the LSU Tigers were embarrassed at home by the Alabama Crimson Tide. I was curious how the Tigers would respond this week as they hit the road to take on the Florida Gators.
The Gators entered the game with a losing record and have been trying to find who their starting quarterback will be. With the questions Florida faced, I thought LSU would come out with a spirited performance and take care of business. I was wrong.
Tonight, we witnessed the LSU offensive line give up seven sacks to the Gators’ defense. [autotag]Garrett Nussmeier[/autotag] never got going and the offense only got into the endzone once as Florida won this one 27-16.

LSU got embarrassed on their home turf by Alabama last weekend so Tiger fans were looking for a good response from this team and coaching staff. Needless to say, they did not get what they asked for.
Stock Down: Garrett Nussmeier

Nussmeier has not been playing at his highest level for the past three games. He struggled again tonight going 27-for-47 for 260 yards and only one touchdown. He could never get in a rhythm.
Stock Down: No 10-win season
[Doug Engle/Gainesville Sun]With the Tigers’ loss to Florida, [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] will not win 10 games for the eighth season in a row. This loss also killed the hopes of LSU playing for the conference championship.
Stock Down: 4th quarter disaster
[Doug Engle/Gainesville Sun]Going into the fourth quarter, the game was tied at 13. The Gators would go on to outscore LSU 14-3 in the final quarter to pull away with a 27-16 victory.
