Breaking News: Five star decommit from Clemson Flip to LSU tigers over Louisville and Tennessee…
Brian Kelly and the LSU football staff are in the midst of a busy week on the recruiting trail after bringing in a trio of targets via the NCAA Transfer Portal.
The Tigers hosted Auburn defensive back Keionte Scott earlier this week with the coveted transfer making his way to Baton Rouge on Monday evening.
Following a two-night stay, the LSU staff then shifted focus by bringing in North Carolina State defensive back Tamarcus Cooley for a visit to town on Wednesday.
But LSU remains active in the Transfer Portal with a third priority target in Baton Rouge this week.
With the departures of Mason Taylor (2025 NFL Draft) and Ka’Morreun Pimpton (Transfer Portal), the program has hit the recruiting trail with force when it comes to adding impactful tight ends.
LSU signed JD LaFleur, the top-ranked tight in in Louisiana, along with Oklahoma transfer Bauer Sharp in December.
Sharp is coming off of a year after leading the Sooners in receptions (42) and receiving yards (324) in 2024.
Look for the SEC transfer to come in and be a versatile piece for the LSU offense in both the receiving and blocking game. Brian Kelly raved about his physicality in the run-game. It’ll be how he’s use
d most in 2025.
He’s a talented player with physicality; especially in the run game. If you watch him closely, some of the things they did with him in the passing game, we’ve seen from other tight ends,” Kelly said in December.
“If you really look at his body of work, it’s the physicality in the run game. Pulling, blocking tackles, being out on the perimeter. Love his physicality in the run-game. Still, a very good athlete. He came in as a quarterback at Southeast Louisiana. He has the ability to do some really good things for us in the passing game as well.”
Sharp and 2025 signee JD LaFleur will join returning piece Trey’Dez Green in the tight end room next season, but the program is looking for an additional body.
