According to On3’s Pete Nakos, LSU offensive lineman Khayree Lee Jr. plans to enter the NCAA transfer portal. Lee spent two years in the program but will look to continue his career elsewhere. Roster turnover is going to continue in Baton Rouge after the coaching change, with Lee being the latest.
Lee did not see any playing time during his time with LSU. However, a redshirt did come in 2024, meaning three years of eligibility remain at his next destination. Using all of them, of course, are not required, but Lee still has a few years left in the college game if he desires.
Just based on his recruiting rankings, plenty of teams should be interested in the offensive lineman. Lee played high school football at Marrero (LA) John Ehret, where he was a three-star prospect. He was the No. 549 overall recruit in the 2024 cycle, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
Multiple other power conference programs were involved in Lee’s recruitment. Ultimately, LSU got him through the finish line over the likes of Florida State, Ole Miss, and Texas. Now, all of those schools will have an opportunity to get Lee on their roster ahead of the 2026 season.
Roster decisions continue to roll in for LSU after hiring Lane Kiffin
According to Matt Moscona, LSU Tigers running back Harlem Berry will return to the program for the 2026 season. New head coach Lane Kiffin is working on retaining a few key players, with Berry being one of them. Now, the deal is reportedly done as the star running back is not going anywhere.
“NEW: Harlem Berry will return to LSU for his sophomore season, source confirms,” Moscona said via X. “His deal will be signed Wednesday. Massive win for Lane Kiffin, Billy Glasscock and Kevin Smith.”
Berry played in all 13 games this past season for LSU, recording 491 yards and two touchdowns in 104 carries. Not the most eye-popping stats when looking at the paper. However, many believe this is just the beginning of what Berry is capable of. Not many players possess the skillset he does, which could translate into him becoming a top running back in college football.
This news also comes after Berry’s position coach, Frank Wilson, departed the program. He will be heading in the opposite direction from Kiffin. Wilson recently accepted a job with the Ole Miss Rebels, a place he spent three years beginning in 2005.
