LSU football will likely be without one of its expected offensive line starters this season.

Rivals reported on Monday that offensive tackle Dare Rosenthal is expected to “request entry” to the NCAA transfer portal this week.

Rosenthal is a former four-star recruit who signed with the Tigers during the 2018 recruiting cycle.

The Louisiana native was ranked as the No. 24 defensive tackle in the country in 2018. He moved to the offensive side of the ball after his freshman season.

Why LSU football is losing Dare Rosenthal; and why it’s not a surprise

According to the report from Rivals, Rosenthal is looking to enter the transfer portal due to a violation of school policies that is “likely to cost him ample time in the 2021 season” (if he were to remain at LSU).
