Michael Van Buren Transfers to LSU from Mississippi State

LSU football has made significant additions to its roster through the transfer portal, securing former Oklahoma wide receiver Nic Anderson and former Mississippi State quarterback Michael Van Buren. Anderson, who was highly ranked in the transfer portal, recorded 10 touchdown catches as a freshman and adds depth to LSU's passing game despite missing much of last season due to injury. Van Buren, who started eight games for Mississippi State in 2024, brings experience and skill, throwing for 1,886 yards and 11 touchdowns, and is expected to fit well into LSU's offensive scheme. With three years of eligibility remaining for both players, they are positioned to significantly impact LSU's upcoming seasons. The Tigers have also seen other players, including former quarterbacks TJ Finley and Walker Howard, transfer within Louisiana, highlighting the dynamic nature of the transfer portal in college football.
