LSU loses edge rusher to transfer portal
The Tigers’ depth along the defensive line took a hit on Thursday as edge rusher Desmond Little announced his decision to enter the transfer portal, according to multiple reports.
A junior from Pritchard, Alabama, and former three-star prospect, Little appeared in 14 games for the Tigers over three seasons, notching 16 tackles. He had 2.5 sacks as a sophomore in 2021, but he saw his production diminish this fall as he finished with zero.
With BJ Ojulari and Ali Gaye likely moving on, LSU’s depth at the edge is a bit concerning. Zavier Carter is now the only player on the Tigers’ defensive line with experience playing the JACK position that Ojulari occupies.
LSU hasn’t lost any major contributors to the portal so far, but losses like Little’s are ones that could be felt down the line if the Tigers aren’t able to add replacements themselves in the portal.
