LSU Football Transfer Portal: Every Move The Tigers Have Made
LSU hit the NCAA Transfer Portal with force during the first window that opened in December. It gave Head Coach Brian Kelly and his staff the chance to reload their roster with proven, experienced guys and they did just that.
The portal works both ways. With an influx of players coming to Baton Rouge, the Tigers also lost their fair share of guys with 15 former Tigers departing the program.
Despite this, LSU's moves this offseason have been impressive, and with a few scholarships available, they could make a move or two this summer once workouts begin.
A running list of who's taken their talents to Baton Rouge and who has departed the program:
The Roster Overhaul
The Additions
RB Logan Diggs - Junior - Notre Dame
S Andre Sam - Senior - Tulane/Marshall
CB Darian “Duce” Chestnut - Sophomore - Syracuse
CB JK Johnson - Sophomore - Ohio State
CB Zy Alexander – Junior – Southeastern Louisiana
CB Denver Harris – Sophomore – Texas A&M
WR Aaron Anderson – Redshirt Freshman – Alabama
OL Mason Lunsford - Junior - Maryland
LB Omar Speights - Senior - Oregon State
DE Ovie Oghoufo - Senior - Texas
EDGE Bradyn Swinson – Junior – Oregon
DL Paris Shand – Junior – Arizona
DT Jalen Lee – Junior – Florida
DT Jordan Jefferson – Senior – West Virginia
Aaron Anderson, one of two players this program has brought in on offense, provides the Tigers with a player who can add a different dimension to this squad. With the departure of Kayshon Boutte and Jaray Jenkins, this receiving corps needed a boost. Insert Anderson. Along with his contributions on offense, Anderson will be a huge piece to special teams. A gifted return specialist, the New Orleans native looks to fill that role almost instantly.
