LSU Football's Transfer Portal Class Rises To No. 1 Spot Amid Sam Leavitt Commitment

Lane Kiffin and the LSU Tigers have surged to the No. 1 spot in the Transfer Portal rankings after the program landed a commitment from Arizona State quarterback Sam Leavitt on Monday morning.

Leavitt checks in as the top overall player in the NCAA Transfer Portal with his pledge lifting LSU from a top-five class to the No. 1 spot as the Bayou Bengals continue their dominance in the free agent market.

Once Kiffin arrived in Baton Rouge, the new shot-caller of the program had zero worries surrounding the portal window with an understanding that the Tigers would send shockwaves across the two-week stretch.

"Then go to the portal, which I have zero concern about the interest of players with that, because I know what the interest was of players nationally to come play for us where we were just at, and now when you put that with this stadium and with that logo, I mean, makes me want to get on the phone right now, but the portal is not open," Kiffin said on Dec. 1.
