09/06/25 - Landen Clark, rFr/2029, LSU, 6-0, 186 (DS#999 QB) + More +

Landen Clark threw three touchdown passes and ran for another TD and Elon scored 31 second-quarter points on Saturday night as the Phoenix beat Davidson 55-7. Clark opened the scoring with a 1-yard TD run about 3 1/2 minutes into the game, then hit Landyn Backey for scoring strikes of 22 and 44 yards to make it 24-0 with 8:04 left in the first half. TJ Thomas Jr. ran for a 5-yard touchdown, Luke Barnes - who made a 27-yard field goal in the first quarter - kicked a 38-yarder, and Isaiah Fuhrmann caught a 20-yard TD pass from Clark with 44 seconds left in the second quarter that made it 41-0 at halftime.

Coulter Cleland threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Ivan Hoyt early in the third quarter for Davidson (0-2). Jimmyll Williams and Dan Frederick each added a touchdown run for Elon (1-1), which finished with 289 yards rushing. The Phoenix had 30 first downs and 547 total yards.

09/06/25 - Garrett Nussmeier, rSr/2026, LSU, 6-2, 203 (DS#4 QB) + More +

Garrett Nussmeier passed for 237 yards and a touchdown and No. 3 LSU held Louisiana Tech to 154 total yards in a 23-7 victory on Saturday night. Caden Durham rushed for a 3-yard touchdown for LSU (2-0), which was favored by about five touchdowns but didn't lead by more than 10 points until late in the third quarter. "We're not happy with production across the board," LSU coach Brian Kelly said. "I'm not happy with the performance, but it's a win." LSU's defense did its part, shutting out the Bulldogs (1-1) until reserve quarterback Blake Baker's 33-yard scoring pass to Devin Gandy with 4:02 left in the game.

The Tigers outgained Louisiana Tech by 211 yards and LSU held a large advantage in time of possession, 36:52 to 23:08. Barion Brown caught eight passes for 94 yards for the Tigers and got a game ball for his effort. Brown, a transfer from Kentucky, "balled out," Kelly said. "That's what we expected from him." Fellow Tigers receiver Aaron Anderson had eight catches for 73 yards. But the Bulldogs frustrated Nussmeier and Co. on a handful of possessions, forcing a turnover, three punts and four field goal attempts, one of which failed. LSU rushed for 128 yards - and Kelly said "a lack of execution by coaches and players alike" made it tough for the Tigers to finish drives and pull away on the scoreboard. - LSU/AP College Football

08/31/25 - Sam Leavitt, rSo/2028, LSU, 6-2, 205 (DS#5 QB) + More +

Sam Leavitt accounted for 330 yards and four touchdowns, Jordyn Tyson caught two touchdown passes and No. 11 Arizona State overcame a slew of mistakes to beat Northern Arizona 38-19 on Saturday night. The Sun Devils reached the College Football Playoff for the first time last season despite being picked last in the Big 12, sparking an interest that led to a school-record 14,280 students among the sold-out crowd. Arizona State fed off the energy by jumping out to a quick 14-0 lead against the Football Championship Subdivision Lumberjacks, but bumbled through the rest of the first half.

Leavitt picked the Sun Devils back up, scoring on runs of 52 and 18 yards in the third quarter. He later hit Tyson on an acrobatic 16-yard TD that put Arizona State up 38-13. Leavitt threw for 257 yards and three TDs on 25-of-39 passing with an interception, adding 73 yards and a TD on the ground. Tyson had 12 catches for 141 yards and Raleek Brown added a 6-yard touchdown run. NAU's Ty Pennington threw for 204 yards and hit Nason Coleman on a 3-yard touchdown early in the third quarter. Pennington was replaced by Lathan Boone in the fourth quarter after taking several hard hits. - Arizona State/AP College Football

Garrett Nussmeier threw a go-ahead 8-yard touchdown pass to Trey'Dez Green in the fourth quarter, and No. 9 LSU rallied past fourth-ranked Clemson 17-10 on Saturday night for its first season-opening win since 2019, when Joe Burrow led the Tigers to an undefeated season and a national championship. Nussmeier, who eclipsed 4,000 yards passing in his first year as a starter in 2024 after biding his time behind Jayden Daniels, got better as game went on, throwing for 134 of his 230 yards in the second half while leading two touchdown drives. Caden Durham rushed for 74 yards and a touchdown for LSU. LSU, retooled with a highly touted class of transfers, showed the mental and physical toughness that coach Brian Kelly was seeking after trailing 10-3 at the half.

LSU's stifling defense limited first-team preseason Associated Press All-America quarterback Cade Klubnik to 19-of-38 passing for 230 yards and an interception. With 4 1/2 minutes left, Clemson got the ball with a chance to tie the game but failed to manage a single first down with Klubnik under constant pressure. LSU couldn't capitalize and had to punt the ball back, giving Clemson one more shot with 1:54 remaining. Klubnik got Clemson to the LSU 15 before a hurried pass on fourth-and-4 fell incomplete with a defender in his face. It didn't help that Clemson lost star wide receiver Antonio Williams, a second-team preseason AP All-American, to an injury early in the first quarter. It was expected to be a high-scoring matchup featuring a pair of Heisman Trophy hopefuls at QB and two of the nation's top offenses from a year ago. - AP College Football

Sam Leavitt threw for 258 yards and two touchdowns, Cam Skattebo and DeCarlos Brooks both ran for a touchdown and Arizona State won its first football game as a member of the Big 12, beating Wyoming 48-7 on Saturday night. The Sun Devils scored a defensive touchdown just 41 seconds into the game when Zyrus Fiaseu picked off Wyoming's Evan Svoboda and ran 29 yards to the end zone. The Sun Devils didn't force a turnover last season until their fourth game. Svoboda threw another interception less than five minutes later.

This time, it was Keyshaun Elliott who grabbed the errant pass and ran 18 yards to the Wyoming 42. The Sun Devils capitalized on the good field position with a 29-yard field goal and a 10-0 lead. Arizona State had a 17-0 lead by the end of the first quarter and a 27-0 advantage at halftime. Leavitt, a Michigan State transfer, played well in his first career start, completing 14 of 22 passes. He beat out senior Jeff Sims for the starting job during preseason camp. Svoboda completed 6 of 15 passes for 42 yards and had the two early interceptions. He also made an errant throw on a lateral that was picked up by Arizona State's Justin Wodtly and returned six yards for a touchdown. - AP College Football

03/08/23 - Mason Lunsford, rSr/2024, LSU, 6-6, 300 (DS#999 OG) + More +

Former Maryland offensive lineman Mason Lunsford signed with LSU, The Advocate has learned. He will enroll this summer, adding depth to the interior offensive line. Lunsford started for the last two years at Maryland before he entered the NCAA transfer portal. He signed with the Tigers after visiting campus last weekend. Lunsford has two years of eligibility.

LSU has been looking for an experienced offensive line transfer who can compete at center or guard. It missed out on Cincinnati center Jake Renfro and Miami center Jakai Clark before landing Lunsford. Lunsford signed with Maryland as a three-star recruit. He turned into a key player on the Terps' offensive line, starting 23 games over the last two seasons. Lunsford primarily played left guard. - Baton Rouge Advocate

03/07/23 - Jacobian Guillory II, rSr/2026, LSU, 6-2, 318 (DS#63 DT) + More +

After joining the defensive line rotation as a redshirt freshman, Jacobian Guillory stayed there last year. He started twice, but he fell far behind the snap counts of starters Mekhi Wingo and Jaquelin Roy. Guillory finished with 14 tackles and one quarterback hurry. In his career, he has 23 tackles, two tackles for loss and a half-sack. This is a pivotal offseason for Guillory. On top of Wingo and Maason Smith, LSU signed West Virginia transfer Jordan Jefferson and Florida transfer Jalen Lee. They added depth, but there are available snaps this spring. Wingo (shoulder) and Smith (knee) are limited as they recover from injuries, giving Guillory and others the chance to assert themselves. - Baton Rouge Advocate

03/07/23 - Maason Smith, rSo/2024, LSU, 6-5, 306 (DS#8 DT) + More +

LSU football defensive lineman Maason Smith will be a non-contact participant during spring practices, coach Brian Kelly told ESPN on Monday. "Getting him back defensively will be a big, big plus for us," Kelly said. Smith tore his ACL during the first series of the year against Florida State on Sept. 3 while celebrating a tackle by a teammate. His absence left a defensive line already short on bodies even less deep, and LSU had to rely heavily on Missouri transfer Mekhi Wingo and Jaquelin Roy for the rest of the season.

As a freshman in 2021, Smith had 19 total tackles and four sacks in seven games. He was a five-star recruit in the 2021 class and the No. 20 player in the nation out of Terrebonne High School in Houma, according to the 247Sports Composite. Smith's pending return, combined with the additions of Jalen Lee (Florida), Jordan Jefferson (West Virginia) and Paris Shand (Arizona) from the transfer portal, should make the interior of the Tigers' defensive line much deeper in 2023. - Lafayette Daily Advertiser

LSU will begin spring football practice next week. The team announced Wednesday that practice starts March 9, and it culminates with the spring game April 22 inside Tiger Stadium. LSU said "details and the format" of the last day haven't been determined. Spring ball provides the first glimpse of a team with rising expectations for the second year under coach Brian Kelly. The Tigers likely will be ranked in the preseason top 10 after finishing 10-4 with a Southeastern Conference Western Division title last season. - Baton Rouge Advocate

03/01/23 - Aaron Anderson, rJr/2026, LSU, 5-08, 191 (DS#39 WR) + More +

LSU football wide receiver Aaron Anderson is expected to miss time this spring recovering from offseason knee surgery, according to On3 Sports. However, according to the report, Anderson is expected to be ready for the Tigers' season opener on Sept. 3 against Florida State. Anderson transferred to LSU from Alabama this offseason. He was the No. 1 recruit in Louisiana's 2022 class, according to 247Sports Composite, and attended Edna Karr in New Orleans.

Anderson was the only offensive addition among the 11 players the Tigers added in the transfer portal this winter. He joins a deep LSU wide receivers group that includes leading wideout Malik Nabers, Brian Thomas Jr., Chris Hilton Jr., Kyren Lacy and freshmen signees Shelton Sampson Jr., Kyle Parker, Khai Prean and Jalen Brown. - Montgomery Advertiser

02/27/23 - Sevyn Banks, rSr/2023, LSU, 6-1, 202 (DS#54 CB) + More +

Cornerback Sevyn Banks declared for the 2023 NFL Draft instead of returning to LSU, sources told The Advocate. Banks, a former Ohio State transfer, had one more season of eligibility. Banks transferred to LSU last spring after starting his career at Ohio State. He missed the first three games as he recovered from an injury, then Banks suffered a bruised spinal cord when he made a tackle on the opening kickoff Oct. 1 against Auburn. He did not play the rest of the season.

As a fifth-year senior, Banks did not have to formally submit his name for the draft by the Jan. 16 underclassmen deadline. He still made his decision around then, a source said. Though widely thought Banks had returned to LSU because he never made a public announcement, the team knew of his choice. Banks plans to participate in LSU's Pro Day next month, a source said. It'll be the first chance to see him work out since he was taken off the field on a stretcher after the kickoff at Auburn. He did not dress for another game as he recovered, and the former Ohio State starter is now trying to reach the NFL after two injury-marred seasons. Banks was a four-star recruit and the No. 221 overall player in the 2018 class, according to the 247Sports composite rankings, out of Jones High School in Orlando, Florida. He appeared in every game his sophomore year at Ohio State before turning into a starter with early-round draft potential. - Baton Rouge Advocate

02/24/23 - Malik Nabers, Jr/2024, LSU, 6-0, 200 (DS#2 WR) + More +

One day following his arrest in New Orleans for carrying an illegal weapon, LSU football player Malik Nabers won't face any charges, Orleans Parish Magistrate Court records indicate. Nabers, 19, was scheduled for a bond hearing Tuesday afternoon, but the state refused charges during the proceedings with the condition the defendant not get his gun returned to him. According to Louisiana law, a count for carrying an illegal weapon is categorized as a misdemeanor with a penalty up to a six-month sentence and a $500 fine. Nabers led the Tigers at the receiver position last season, posting 72 catches for 1,017 yards with three touchdowns. - Lafayette Daily Advertiser
