Lane Kiffin, the transfer portal king, didnt wait to bring in a nationally ranked portal class in his first offseason at LSU.
With 43 new players coming via the portal, ON3 ranked the Tigers transfer haul as the fifth-best in the nation.
Which, as youd expect, means the Tigers have several potential immediate-impact players who could play big roles this coming season.
Jordan Seaton, LT - Colorado Its almost so obvious that he doesnt need to be added to this list.
The former five-star recruit was the highest-ranked addition Kiffin and Co.
added in their top-five nationally ranked recruiting class.
Seaton brings two seasons of experience after going to Colorado and starting right away.
After starting in the most games in all 13 games, the most by a true freshman in the Buffaloes history, he gave up just one sack and five pressures in nine games last season.
From the day he arrived in Baton Rouge, Seaton has had his name written in pen at left tackle.
Sam Leavitt, QB - Arizona State Like Seaton, the No.
1-ranked player at his position via the transfer portal this offseason, while the Tigers pursued other quarterbacks in the portal, Leavitt was one of their top targets and the one they ended up landing.
He starred at Arizona State as a redshirt freshman, winning the Big-12 Freshman of the Year, guiding the Sun Devils to a top-four seed in the College Football Playoff.
Hes shown the ability to be a top quarterback in the nation; the only question is about how hell recover from his season-ending foot injury.
Princewill Umanmielen, EDGE - Ole Miss Another top-ranked player at his position, he will be one of the lone veterans in the edge room for LSU this season.
He followed Kiffin to Baton Rouge from Ole Miss, where in his lone season he led the team in sacks (9) and tackles for a loss (13).
TJ Dottery, LB - Ole Miss The green dot linebacker for Ole Miss the last two seasons brings SEC-proven experience and production to a room that already features a top linebacker in Whitt Weeks.
Eugene Wilson, WR - Florida Kiffin wasted little time stocking the wide receiver room with proven production and high-upside players.
Wilson goes into the former category, as he played three seasons at Florida, with his freshman year being his best, totaling 538 yards and six touchdowns.
Injuries have been an issue for Wilson in the two seasons since, but if he can stay healthy, he figures to be a veteran in the room.
Jayce Brown, WR - Kansas State The former Kansas State star led the Wildcats in receiving each of the past two seasons.
At 5-foot-11 and 175 pounds, he gives the Tigers' offense an explosive weapon who operated mostly out of the slot.
