LSU added to its quarterback room on Monday, picking up a commitment from Vanderbilt transfer [autotag]AJ Swann[/autotag].
The addition wasn’t a surprise. It had been known LSU was in the market for a QB with some experience and several years of eligibility remaining.
Swann fits that bill. The rising junior appeared in 15 games in two seasons at Vanderbilt but has two years of eligibility left and potentially more if he redshirts in 2024.
[autotag]Garrett Nussmeier[/autotag] is expected to be LSU’s starter in 2024. But Swann is a guy who can push him and adds insurance should Nussmeier get hurt.
Before adding Swann, LSU lacked a backup QB with any meaningful experience. That makes this a critical pickup.
