Will 2025 be the year LSU’s defense makes a significant leap? CBS Sports’ College Football Insiders crew believe that it’s likely.
The Tigers ranked No. 82 in 2023 and No. 61 in 2024 in total defense, hindering a team that boasted the No. 1 total offense in 2023 and No. 25 in 2024.
LSU landed the No. 1 transfer portal class for 2025, with nine of its 18 commitments on defense, including five of the six-highest-rated players in the class.
Several of the Tigers’ top transfer additions have exceeded expectations during fall camp, according to CBS Sports national college football reporters Matt Zenitz and Shehan Jeyarajah.
