One of LSU football's top targets is officially in the transfer portal. According to 247Sports' Chase Parham, Ole Miss defensive end Princewill Umanmielen is in the portal after a day-long saga following Umanmielen's transfer announcement.

Earlier this month, Umanmielen was expected to return to Ole Miss after reportedly agreeing to a new deal. The hold up stemmed from questions about whether Ole Miss had to enter Umanmielen in the portal and if they did, what would Umanmielen or the new school owe Ole Miss.

According to Parham, that amount is $550,000. If Umanmielen lands at LSU, the Tigers will be giving Ole Miss over half a million dollars.

For some schools, $550K is a lot of money. And it isn't chump change to LSU, either, but its not much given Umanmielen's production in 2025. Umanmielan ranked 4th among SEC defensive ends with 51 pressures while racking up 11 sacks. He made 26 stops and picked off a pass.

Umanmielen is the No. 5-ranked player in the transfer portal, according to On3's Industry Rankings.

Umanmielen to LSU isn't a done deal just yet, but the rumor mill suggests that the star defensive end will land with his former head coach in Baton Rouge.
