Jan 10, 2026

With transfer portal quarterback options rapidly disappearing, Lane Kiffin made a bold move — flying to Knoxville to meet with Sam Leavitt after his Tennessee visit and before Leavitt headed to Miami.

Why did Leavitt leave LSU without committing? What went wrong during his Baton Rouge visit, and can Kiffin’s aggressive pursuit still pay off?

We break down the latest portal chaos, including:

Jan 09, 2026

Washington quarterback Demond Williams has decided to remain with the Washington Huskies after a chaotic 48-hour stretch that put LSU squarely in the middle of the conversation. We break down why Williams ultimately stayed at Washington, what changed behind the scenes, and how the situation unfolded so quickly.

From there, we turn to the bigger question: where does LSU go next at quarterback? Is a return to Sam Leavitt still possible, and why is that path unlikely despite renewed discussion? After Leavitt, we outline three realistic quarterback targets the Tigers could pursue as the portal board continues...

Demond Williams to LSU: Why Precedent Says Washington CAN’T Block Him
Jan 07, 2026

LSU pivoted to Washington QB Demond Williams in one of the wildest portal twists we’ve ever seen. Just days after telling the Huskies he would stay—and signing a revenue-share contract—Williams entered the transfer portal. Now Washington is exploring legal action to keep him from transferring to Baton Rouge, but established precedent suggests schools cannot block a player from leaving or from competing elsewhere. So has LSU finally found its quarterback for 2026?

We break down exactly what Williams’s Washington contract does and doesn’t mean, why the law favors player mobility, and how quickly Lane Kiffi...

LSU is rolling out the red carpet for Arizona State quarterback Sam Leavitt, but Lane Kiffin just got another transfer portal plot twist. Washington QB Demond Williams reversed course—AGAIN. After announcing he’d stay in Seattle, Williams entered the portal, a player Kiffin and Charlie Weis, Jr. have now recruited twice in two different stops.

The College Football Playoff run at Ole Miss is colliding head-on with the opening of the transfer portal — and LSU is right in the middle of it.

Ole Miss Tries to Embarrass Lane Kiffin With Tampering Claims—So Kiffin Trolls Them Back
Dec 31, 2025

Ole Miss is accusing Lane Kiffin of tampering—and while they might technically be right, that’s not the real story.

In today’s college football landscape, tampering isn’t an exception—it’s the norm. LSU isn’t doing anything that dozens of other programs aren’t also doing behind the scenes, and the NCAA has shown time and time again that it has no real power to enforce the rules.

So why is Ole Miss pushing this now?
