Lane Kiffin and LSU made headlines this week with the commitment of Sam Leavitt on Monday morning. Kiffin has landed his QB1 for 2026, and continues to navigate the LSU Football program through the transfer portal, which remains open until Friday, January 16. In his latest portal addition, Kiffin has brought in valuable running back depth.
According to Hayes Fawcett of On3, LSU has received a commitment from former Wisconsin RB Dilin Jones. The 6'0" 205-pound running back comes to Baton Rouge after two seasons in Madison with the Badgers, and has 3 years of eligibility remaining.
