LSU’s No. 1-ranked transfer portal class takes center stage in this episode as we bring you an exclusive interview with two of the Tigers’ newest additions.

Ole Miss transfer wide receiver Winnie Watkins explains why he knew he was leaving Oxford the moment Lane Kiffin departed and why following him to LSU was an easy decision. His answer is honest, direct, and guaranteed to upset Rebel fans.

We also sit down with quarterback Landen Clark, who breaks down why he chose LSU over Michigan and Kentucky, how quickly his relationship with offensive coordinator Charlie Weis Jr. has developed, and what sold him on Baton Rouge as the right fit for his future.

Plus, we take a broader look at LSU’s portal dominance, including two more Ole Miss Rebels the Tigers are targeting—one of whom was once committed to LSU—and what it all means for the SEC landscape moving forward.

If you want the real story behind LSU’s portal surge, this is one you don’t want to miss.

LSU just delivered one of the biggest shocks of the transfer portal cycle.

The Tigers landed Arizona State quarterback Sam Leavitt, the No. 1 player in the transfer portal, beating out Tennessee and Miami after a recruitment that looked all but over. We break down how Lane Kiffin re-entered the race, what flipped the momentum, and why LSU ultimately won the battle for the top portal quarterback.

But the story doesn’t end there.

LSU is still pushing hard for former five-star quarterback Husan Longstreet, raising the possibility of an unprecedented portal double at the position. Could this become the biggest QB portal coup we’ve ever seen?

Plus, we dive into LSU’s latest roster additions:

Former Kentucky offensive tackle Darrin Strey

Troy wide receiver Roman Mothershed

What these moves signal about LSU’s roster construction and 2026 outlook

All that and more as LSU’s portal surge continues at full speed.
