LSU Football attacked the transfer portal following the end of the regular season.
But the portal gives and the portal takes. The Tigers have lost a handful of their own players to the transfer portal. Seventeen LSU players hit the portal. Per On3, the average rating of LSU’s portal exits is 73.06.
