LSU football continues to pick up player after player out of the transfer portal during the winter window. Head coach Lane Kiffin is building out the first roster of his tenure and he brought in several high-ranking prospects.
Per 247 Sports, LSU has the No. 1 transfer portal class in the country. The Tigers have one five-star commit in quarterback Sam Leavitt and 10 four-stars. They have 35 commitments total, fifth-most in the nation and second-most in the SEC, behind Arkansas.
LSU signed the most players at wide receiver with nine. The Tigers also brought in several linemen on both sides of the ball, rebuilding what was lost to the transfer portal at the end of the 2025 season.
Following the 2024 season, LSU made a splash with the top transfer portal class in the country between the winter and spring windows. The Tigers underperformed in 2025 so rankings aren't always an indicator of future success. However, Kiffin clearly assembled a group of highly regarded players and will certainly increase expectations ahead of his first season at the helm.
Below is a look at 247Sports' top-ranked transfer portal classes as of Jan. 17.

LSU isn't done yet, either. The portal is closed, but the players who entered can still commit. The Tigers are working on putting the finishing touches on the class in the coming days.
