LSU’s football program has seen some significant movement lately, with defensive lineman Tygee Hill becoming the latest Tiger to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal. Hill, who hails from Louisiana and was a standout at Edna Karr, will have three seasons of eligibility remaining as he looks for his next destination.
During his time with the Bayou Bengals, Hill played in nine games across two seasons, where he made modest contributions with just three tackles and one pass deflection. His departure adds to the growing list of LSU players seeking new opportunities elsewhere, with him being the tenth Tiger to enter the Transfer Portal during Week 3 of the window.
Another player making waves is defensive back Ryan, who has been a versatile asset in LSU’s secondary. He started in nine games during the 2023 season, primarily at cornerback, and made significant contributions with three pass breakups and 35 tackles, 4.5 of which were behind the line of scrimmage. Ryan’s departure, like Hill’s, comes as somewhat of a surprise given his playing time and potential for further development.
Meanwhile, former LSU defensive end Quency Wiggins has found his new home at Colorado after a brief stint in the Transfer Portal. Wiggins, once a highly touted recruit, will bring his talents to Deion Sanders’ Buffaloes in hopes of making an immediate impact. Despite limited playing time at LSU, Wiggins remains a promising prospect, and his move underscores the opportunities available in the transfer market.
As LSU navigates these changes, they are focused on retaining key players like Maason Smith and Mekhi Wingo, who are pivotal to the team’s future success. With the transfer landscape reshaping college football rosters, the Tigers are actively working to maintain their competitive edge while addressing their evolving roster needs.
