LSU Football Adds Quarterback Michael Van Buren

LSU football has made significant moves in the transfer portal, notably securing quarterback Michael Van Buren from Mississippi State, who brings three years of eligibility after a solid freshman season. Van Buren passed for nearly 1,900 yards and 16 touchdowns, despite Mississippi State's struggles in the SEC. Additionally, LSU added defensive end Jimari Butler from Nebraska to bolster their defensive line, filling a critical need following multiple departures. The Tigers also signed wide receiver Barion Brown from Kentucky, who has been a standout performer, enhancing their receiving corps after losing key players to the draft and transfer portal. LSU is actively pursuing top talent, including former Georgia Tech wide receiver Eric Singleton, indicating a focused effort to strengthen their roster for the upcoming season. With these additions, LSU's roster is shaping up to be competitive in 2025 as they aim to improve from last season's performance.
