- Brendan Sorsby was removed from the top of ESPN's rankings after applying for the NFL supplemental draft on June 15, following an investigation that found he made $90,000 in bets β including wagers on the Indiana Hoosiers while he was a team member.
- Cam Coleman, the No. 5 overall recruit in the 2024 ESPN 300, transferred from Auburn to Texas with 93 career catches for 1,306 yards and 13 touchdowns over two SEC seasons, teaming with Ryan Wingo to give Arch Manning two All-America-caliber receivers.
- Sam Leavitt, a redshirt sophomore QB, transferred from Arizona State to LSU after passing for 3,328 total yards and 29 touchdowns during a 2024 Big 12 title run, choosing Lane Kiffin's program over Kentucky, Tennessee and Miami.
- Jordan Seaton, the No. 1 OT in the 2024 ESPN 300, transferred from Colorado to LSU after surrendering just three pressures and zero sacks in 2025 pass protection, anchoring a Tigers offensive line rebuilt via eight January portal additions.
- Darian Mensah transferred from Duke to Miami after leading the Blue Devils to their first outright ACC championship since 1962, throwing for a conference-leading 3,973 yards with 35 total touchdowns and six interceptions.
- Princewill Umanmielen, Ole Miss edge rusher and brother of Carolina Panthers rusher Princely Umanmielen, transferred to LSU after producing 40 pressures, 13 tackles for loss and nine sacks β making him the third top-five portal player to land in Baton Rouge.
- LSU's portal class under new coach Lane Kiffin ranked No. 1 nationally, with scouts noting a prolific 2026 season alongside OC Charlie Weis Jr. could push Leavitt into first-round draft territory.
Why it matters: Under new coach Lane Kiffin, LSU's No. 1-ranked portal class β headlined by three top-five transfers (Leavitt, Seaton, Umanmielen) plus eight offensive line additions β positions the Tigers as a serious 2026 national title contender, while Sorsby's removal after a $90,000 gambling investigation shows how eligibility turmoil can instantly reshuffle the sport's transfer market.
