LSU Football Lands Commitment From Versatile Oregon Ducks Transfer After Visit

Oregon Ducks tight end Zach Grace has committed to Lane Kiffin and the LSU Tigers after taking a successful visit to Baton Rouge, he revealed via social media on Thursday evening.

The 6-foot-3, 238-pounder is fresh off of his third season in Eugene where he has been utilized in multiple ways under Dan Lanning and Co. on both offense and special teams.

Grace took a redshirt year as a true freshman in 2023 prior to appearing in 10 games across his second season where he took 41 total snaps - including 20 in the backfield as a fullback.

The versatile weapon has become a talented blocking threat for the Ducks where he earned a 74.0 pass-blocking grade from Pro Football Focus as he looks to compliment Trey'Dez Green in the tight end room next fall.

LSU continues stacking weapons to the program's 2026 Transfer Portal haul that ranks No. 1 in America with Grace now adding to the group.
