Former LSU wide receiver Javen Nicholas committed to Charlotte after three seasons in Baton Rouge. Nicholas took to social media to announce the news on Monday.
Nicholas entered the transfer portal on April 17 after going through spring workouts with the Tigers. With a crowded room of veteran pass catchers, Nicholas chose to seek a larger role elsewhere and will try his luck with the 49ers.
Originally committed to LSU as a walk-on, Nicholas hails from New Orleans and played high school football at St. Augustine. The recruiting hotbed produced LSU legends such as Leonard Fournette and Tyrann Mathieu.
The rising senior largely contributed on special teams throughout his time donning the Purple and Gold. Last season, he caught three passes for 24 yards, including a long of 11 yards against South Alabama.
Charlotte hired former LSU offensive analyst Paul Turner as its wide receivers coach and passing coordinator in January. He reunited with 49ers offensive coordinator Todd Fitch, who served as the Tigers’ senior offensive analyst in 2024. Nicholas will join his former coaches for what will be his fourth season of college football.
Nicholas is one of just two LSU Tigers to enter the portal during the spring transfer window.
