LSU offers Pac-12 defensive linemen

LSU is looking to beef up its interior defensive line with Kyon Barrs, a transfer from Arizona.

Transfer portal season has begun, and the LSU staff is well at work.

[autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] and defensive line coach [autotag]Jamar Cain[/autotag] have dolled out a scholarship offer to [autotag]Kyon Barrs[/autotag], a defensive line transfer from Arizona.

Barrs has significant experience, playing over 1,500 snaps in his four years at Arizona. In 2021, Barrs was one of the best DT’s in the Pac-12, earning all-conference honors. He started every game in 2022 and racked up eight TFLs and five sacks.

LSU’s looking good on the interior next year, but [autotag]Jaquelin Roy[/autotag] is expected to declare for the draft, leaving LSU with production to replace. However, the room will still be headlined by [autotag]Mekhi Wingo[/autotag] and [autotag]Maason Smith[/autotag], who could form one of the stronger interior combos in the country.

The Tigers could also return [autotag]Jacobian Guillory[/autotag], but depth is a concern. Adding Barrs would solidify an already strong unit and give LSU comfort should something happen to Wingo or Smith.

LSU offers Division II transfer portal tight end

Prototypical tight end Kyle Morlock can make an impact in the passing game and in run blocking.

Kyle Morlock is a 6-foot-7, 245-pound, sophomore tight end that plays for Division II Shorter University in Rome, Georgia.

Morlock has had a great season for the Hawks as he had 30 receptions for 446 yards and six touchdowns. Talk about a guy with prototypical size and a guy that has a little experience playing at the college level, Morlock checks both of those boxes.

Film Analysis: Morlock is an All-American for a reason. He runs really crisp routes and has great hands and solid speed for a tight end. He is also a monster in the run game as he pancakes anyone he can get his hands on.
