LSU football landed one of the biggest transfers of the offseason when linebacker Mike Jones Jr decided to finish his college football career in Baton Rouge.

Jones, a Tennessee native who played high school football at IMG Academy in Florida, spent the first three years of his college career with the Clemson Tigers.

This past season, Jones was a starter for Clemson. When he entered the transfer portal in January, it was a bit of a surprise.

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney, however, had nothing but good things to say about Jones after the linebacker decided to leave.
