In an effort to replace the steady production at the tight end position from Mason Taylor, Brian Kelly and his staff dipped into the transfer portal to bring Bauer Sharp to LSU. Sharp comes to Baton Rouge after two seasons at Southeastern Louisiana and spent last season at Oklahoma.
Ahead of the 2025 campaign, Sharp has been named to the watch list for the John Mackey Award, which is given annually to the best tight end in college football. Sharp is one of 46 tight ends from around the country to be named to the watch list, which was announced on Friday.
