LSU football made its first addition of transfer portal season, signing former Oklahoma tight end Bauer Sharp. According to the On3 Industry Rankings, Sharp was the fifth-best available tight end in the portal.

Former Georgia Tech wide receiver Eric Singleton told On3 his top five schools, and LSU was joined by Auburn, Miami, Texas, and Ole Miss. According to 247Sports and On3, Singleton is the No. 1 ranked transfer in the 2025 cycle.

LSU needed transfer wide receivers after losing senior Kyren Lacy (exhausted eligibility) and senior CJ Daniels (transfer portal). The Tigers are only bringing back two wideouts, redshirt sophomore Aaron Anderson and junior Zavion Thomas, who had more than five catches during the regular season.

LSU is actively seeking some major upgrades at the wide receiver position. They will lose some talent there to the 2025 NFL Draft, and they're trying to prepare their WR room for the return of QB Garrett Nussmeier next season.
