While Lane Kiffin is still looking to make a major splash in the portal in pursuit of a quarterback, he made a solid addition to the LSU defense on Tuesday. According to On3, LSU has landed a commitment from Boise State transfer safety Ty Benefield.
Benefield is a great get for Kiffin and the Tigers, and is Kiffin's biggest transfer portal signing to date in Baton Rouge. The former Boise State playmaker is ranked as the No. 2 ranked safety in the portal and the No. 33 ranked overall player. He recently spent multiple days visiting LSU, and has now committed to play for the Tigers in 2026.
