Head coach Lane Kiffin put together a talented roster ahead of his first season leading LSU football. Six of those players, returners and transfers, were recognized as being among the best in the game on ESPN's top-100 college players list.
LSU signed the nation's top transfer portal class, bringing in over 40 transfers. The new crop includes the portal's top player in quarterback Sam Leavitt and the top offensive lineman in Jordan Seaton. Kiffin also brought Princewill Umanmielen and others over from Ole Miss, where he coached for six seasons.
The Tigers also retained some of their biggest weapons from last year. Tight end Trey'Dez Green and linebacker Whit Weeks will run it back as well as freshman All-American cornerback DJ Pickett. The future NFL stars will attempt to take LSU back to the postseason for the first time since 2019, when Joe Burrow led the program to the national championship.
Offseason buzz puts LSU among the best programs in the nation with College Football Playoff expectations. Whether it can knock off some of the SEC ****** ans on its schedule remains to be seen but the talent on the team is undeniable.
Here are the six players named to ESPN's top-100 college football players list.
