Over the last few weeks, Lane Kiffin has been busy bringing talent to LSU through the college football transfer portal. Known as the "Portal King" for his success at Ole Miss with the portal, LSU fans are loving what Kiffin has been cooking up so far during his tenure in Baton Rouge.

As it stands, Kiffin has signed 38 players through the portal. His work is being noticed, as LSU's 2026 portal class is ranked No. 1 in the country by 247Sports. But there's one more player still available that could take LSU's portal class to the next level.
Jordan Seaton visits LSU on Sunday, but more visits are on deck
As Kiffin and new LSU offensive line coach Eric Wolford continue to revamp the Tiger offensive line, landing Colorado left tackle Jordan Seaton would be a monster get. Seaton is ranked as the No. 2 offensive lineman in the portal by Saturday Blitz, and is the top lineman still on the market.
The 6'5" 330-pound lineman is on campus at LSU on Sunday as Kiffin and Wolford continue their pitch to land the star offensive lineman. Kiffin and his staff need to seal the deal with Seaton, as he currently has a few more visits scheduled for early next week.

According to Pete Thamel, Seaton is planning to visit Oregon on Monday. He's also already visited Miami (FL) and Mississippi State, and Texas is still in the conversation as well.
LSU's portal additions are led by former Arizona State QB Sam Leavitt, who was arguably the best player available when the portal opened up back on January 2. Leavitt suffered a season-ending ankle injury on October 25, and protecting him in 2026 will be top of mind for Kiffin and the Tigers. Getting a player of Seaton's caliber would do the trick.
Seaton is an elite pass-protector, as he allowed just 5 sacks over the course of 2 seasons and 948 pass blocking snaps with Colorado. Furthermore, his pass-blocking grade of 91.4 was thebest in the entire country this past season.
Kiffin has bolstered LSU's offensive line through the portal already, but landing Seaton would be the signature OL signing that takes LSU's offensive line to new heights in 2026.
