LSU Football secures commitment from elite transfer wide receiver

Oklahoma’s Nic Anderson (4) celebrates a touchdown in the first half of the college football game between the University of Oklahoma Sooners and the University of Central Florida Knights at Gaylord Family Oklahoma-Memorial Stadium in Norman, Okla., Saturday, Oct., 21, 2023.

LSU football landed one of the top transfers in the country on Tuesday evening.

On3’s Hayes Fawcett reported that former Oklahoma wide receiver Nic Anderson chose the Tigers as his next team. The four-star portal prospect ranked No. 5 at his position and No. 10 overall.

Anderson recorded a breakout campaign in 2023 as he caught 38 passes for 789 yards and ten touchdowns, a school record for a freshman. He missed most of this season due to an upper quad injury.

The Katy, TX native drew a four-star rating, according to On3’s Industry Rankings, as part of the 2022 class. He ranked No. 33 out of Texas and No. 34 at his position. Though he originally committed to Oregon, Anderson flipped to the Sooners in November 2021.

LSU needed experience and skill in the receiver room due to NFL departures and an exodus to the portal. When healthy, Anderson brings exceptional physical skills and the ability to get vertical to make tough catches with his six-foot-four, 219-pound frame.

Head coach Brian Kelly encouraged his staff to be aggressive in the portal, especially at positions of need. Securing Anderson’s commitment marks a major win for the Tigers as his skills complement the experience of Aaron Anderson and fellow transfer Barion Brown.

He is the third wideout to choose LSU as his next school and has a lot of upside.
