The LSU Tigers have already dipped into the college football transfer portal this offseason for big additions both offensively and defensively. Now, the Tigers are predicted to land standout safety A.J. Haulcy from the Houston Cougars.

In his latest transfer portal predictions, Pete Nakos of On3.com put a ‘high’ degree of confidence that Haulcy will transfer to LSU ahead of the summer.

“Earlier this week, Haulcy appeared to be trending to Miami after a visit to South Beach. But LSU has surged in the last few days, offering the opportunity to play in the SEC. On3’s Steve Wiltfong and I logged picks for Haulcy to LSU on Friday morning. The Bengal Tiger’s Shea Dixon and I spoke to separate sources who firmly feel LSU can land his commitment before Sunday’s visit to campus, too.”
