After almost a month away from the team, LSU star tight end Arik Gilbert has made his final decision: he will enter the NCAA transfer portal. There were questions whether the 6-foot-5, 249-pound true freshman would return to campus after he officially opted out of the season with two games remaining, although LSU coach Ed Orgeron expressed optimism that Gilbert might come back. Now, the player who was one of the crown jewels of the 2020 recruiting class has entered the transfer portal after spending less than a season in Baton Rouge.

Gilbert is a substantial loss for LSU and its future within the offense. The 6-foot-5, 249-pound freshman was the prize recruit of the 2020 class, the nation's Gatorade Player of the Year and the highest-rated tight end in the history of 247Sports. In eight games, Gilbert was LSU's second-leading receiver with 35 catches, 368 yards and two touchdowns. He had not scored since catching six passes for 97 yards and a touchdown against Missouri, and Orgeron frequently said publicly that Gilbert should get more touches. - Baton Rouge Advocate

Rangy and athletic at 6-2, 185, Townsel played in all but one game and started four, often showing a maturity beyond his years. "A lot of these young guys have gotten a lot of reps and experience, kind of learning after being thrown into the fire, and Townsel is certainly one of those guys," Scott said. "I think this year has been a great learning experience for him. He's had to play all three of our safety positions and has often had to contribute on special teams, and he has stepped up every time. He still has some things to learn, but we believe he's going to be a great player for us." Townsel, a three-star recruit from Deerfield Beach, finished with 32 tackles and an acrobatic interception in the end zone at Cincinnati. - Tampa Tribune

12/11/20 - Arik Gilbert, rSr/2026, Transfer, 6-5, 275 (DS#999 TE) + More +

Star LSU tight end Arik Gilbert has officially opted out of the rest of the season, Tigers coach Ed Orgeron said. Orgeron told reporters in Wednesday's weekly Southeastern Conference teleconference that Gilbert met with him yesterday and told him that he intends to opt out of the rest of the season. "Arik and I had a good conversation yesterday. He told me his was opting out. He said his body was hurting and he had some things he had to take care of." Orgeron said Gilbert did not tell him if he planned on returning to the team next season, but the head coach said he will pursue keeping the true freshman on the team.

"Do I think we have a chance at getting him back next season? Yeah," Orgeron said. "Is there a chance of him transferring? I don't know that. He hasn't told me he's transferring, but obviously we're going to re-recruit him and obviously we wish him the best. Take care of the the things he needs to take care of and be back with us next year." Multiple sources confirmed Gilbert missed practice Monday, and 247Sports first reported Gilbert is "really, really homesick." His role in the offense is also a factor, sources said. Orgeron also said that Gilbert's "body is hurting," Gilbert is a substantial loss for LSU and its future within the offense. The 6-foot-5, 249-pound freshman was the prize recruit of the 2020 class, the nation's Gatorade Player of the Year and the highest-rated tight end in the history of 247Sports. - Baton Rouge Advocate

12/10/20 - Grant Tisdale, rSr/2025, Transfer, 6-0, 226 (DS#999 QB) + More +

Ole Miss quarterback Grant Tisdale is back in the transfer portal, a school spokesperson confirmed to the Clarion Ledger. A former four-star quarterback from Allen, Texas who was a part of the Rebels' 2019 signing class, Tisdale has only played in one game for the Rebels in his two seasons in Oxford. Tisdale entered the transfer portal in October 2019 but returned to the Rebels in December after Lane Kiffin was hired as head coach. Tisdale has not played in 2020 and for more than half the season he was listed as a wide receiver on the team website. Tisdale returned to quarterback for the Rebels' final two games, warming up as the fourth quarterback option pregame. He was not on the travel squad this year. As a true freshman in 2019, Tisdale played in mop-up duty against Alabama. He completed two passes for 56 yards and a touchdown and ran twice for 10 yards. - The Clarion Ledger
