Lane Kiffin and the LSU Tigers continue attacking the NCAA Transfer Portal this month with the program sitting with a top-five class in America.

Once the window opened on Jan. 2, Kiffin and Co. immediately went to work with multiple visitors making their way to Baton Rouge where the staff then sealed the deal to land double-digit newcomers across the first week.

“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.”
