As The Portal Turns: LSU Gains Two, Loses One

The weather may be getting colder, but the transfer portal drama is heating up.

Friday has been the busiest day yet for LSU since the portal opened. LSU saw third-year DB Sage Ryan enter his name into the transfer portal, but offset the loss by adding former Texas A&M safety Jardin Gilbert and former Mississippi State receiver/returner Zavion Thomas.

Let’s start with Sage Ryan. Ryan was a five-star prospect coming out of Lafayette Christian Academy but for whatever reason never lived up to the billing. For all the hand-wringing about LSU’s secondary not having the peak DBU talent, Ryan was one of those high school talents the Tigers would pull in every cycle.
