LSU Tigers offensive lineman Carius Curne has committed to Pete Golding and the Ole Miss Rebels after signing with the program on Tuesday, he revealed via social media.

Curne checks in as the No. 1 interior offensive lineman in the NCAA Transfer Portal with the ex-LSU stud now making his way to a Southeastern Conference rival for the 2026 season.

The 6-foot-5, 320-pounder's primary recruiter was LSU offensive line coach Brad Davis, but with his position coach not being retained on Lane Kiffin's staff, it had Curne opting to explore options elsewhere.

It's a significant loss for Kiffin and the new-look coaching staff with Curne showing promise across his freshman campaign in the Bayou State after earning five starts in seven total games played.

LSU has seen seven offensive linemen from the 2025 roster hit the Transfer Portal with Curne heading to Ole Miss and Coen Echols transferring to Texas A&M as the pair of players that have revealed transfer destinations to this point.

“This place is built for championships with championship expectations. We understand that, but as an elite competitor, that’s exactly what you want, and that’s why we’re here,” Kiffin said at his introductory press conference. …

"I know that we have, with the passion of LSU family and our LSU players, that we have everything to bring championship football back to LSU.

“It’s time for LSU to take its place back as the best program in all of college football. … I’m uniquely prepared at 50 years old for this job to have been so many places, done good things, made a lot of mistakes and made them really early on.”
