LSU Football Secures Commitment From No. 1 Available Transfer Portal
LSU Football has bolstered its roster with a major addition, securing the commitment of highly sought-after transfer portal prospect, Tamarcus Cooley, a standout defensive lineman from the University of North Carolina. Cooley, regarded as the top remaining available player in the transfer portal, brings a wealth of talent and potential to an already formidable LSU defense.
Standing at 6-foot-5 and weighing 300 pounds, Cooley possesses the size and athleticism to make an immediate impact in the SEC. His ability to disrupt offensive lines and rush the passer has made him one of the most coveted transfer targets in college football. Over his career at North Carolina, Cooley showcased his versatility, excelling as both a defensive tackle and end, and it is expected that LSU will utilize him in various roles to maximize his skill set.
The addition of Cooley is a significant win for LSU, who have been actively working to strengthen their defensive front. The Tigers, under head coach Brian Kelly, are looking to return to elite status in the SEC, and Cooley’s presence will help provide depth and athleticism to a unit that will need to compete at a high level in one of the nation’s toughest conferences.
Cooley’s commitment comes at a time when LSU has been recruiting aggressively in the transfer portal, a strategy that has helped elevate the program’s competitiveness on both sides of the ball. The Tigers’ defensive line is now poised to be one of the strongest in the SEC, with Cooley bringing both experience and high upside to the unit.
With his commitment, LSU adds another crucial piece to its 2025 roster, further solidifying their standing as a national title contender.
