The roster needed several upgrades, and going into the transfer portal was the best way to make that happen.
Looking at the consensus around the CFB world, LSU had the best transfer portal class in 2026. It wasn’t just because they brought in a mind-boggling 41 new players; it was about the quality of those players. LSU was able to make real strides across the roster that teams may take at least two seasons to make.
