LSU Football, Ohio State Buckeyes Battling For Elite Top-30 Transfer Wide Receiver

Lane Kiffin and the LSU Tigers are expected to host Old Dominion wide receiver Tre Brown for a visit to Baton Rouge on Sunday, according to On3 Sports.

Brown checks in as a Top-150 player in the NCAA Transfer Portal, and the No. 28 rated wide receiver, with Kiffin and Co. battling multiple heavy-hitters for his services.

The 6-foot-2, 180-pounder is coming off of a standout 2025 campaign as a sophomore where he caught 38 passes for 762 yards and four touchdowns - averaging a whopping 20 yards per catch.

Brown will have two seasons of eligibility remaining at his next destination where the LSU Tigers will be battling the Ohio State Buckeyes for his services this month.

He's expected to be in Baton Rouge on Sunday and Monday prior to taking a trip to Columbus for a visit with Ryan Day and the Ohio State coaching staff after.

LSU is coming off of landing the program's first Transfer Portal addition in wide receiver Jackson Harris - a Hawaii standout - on Sunday morning.

Harris checks in as a Top-50 wide receiver in the NCAA Transfer Portal after a dominant 2025 campaign for the Rainbow Warriors where he hauled in 49 receptions for 963 yards and 12 touchdowns in 10 games played.

The 6-foot-3, 205-pounder earned All-Conference honors in 2025 after transferring in from Stanford last offseason where he now takes his game to the Southeastern Conference.

Kiffin and Co. remain active in the Transfer Portal market with Harris coming in as the first commitment with more wide receivers on the program's radar.
