LSU and Lane Kiffin already linked to dream WR who's entering the portal

After leading the LSU Tigers through the Early Signing Period in his first days on the job, Lane Kiffin is now set to navigate the program through the transfer portal. The portal is set to open this Friday, January 2, and Kiffin and his staff figure to be plenty busy.

Lane Kiffin adds key staff member just in time for transfer portal season

LSU is losing plenty of WR production, which means Kiffin needs to make going after Auburn WR Cam Coleman a top priority. Coleman plans to enter the transfer portal when it opens later this week, and LSU could be the perfect landing spot.

Could Cam Coleman make his way to LSU via the transfer portal?

Per Max Chadwick of PFF, LSU is listed as a potential landing spot for Coleman. Chadwick also lists Alabama and Texas A&M as well. Coleman initially committed to Texas A&M back in 2023 before flipping to Auburn, so the Aggies are certainly a team to keep an eye on.

Coleman could be the perfect WR1 in Kiffin's offense at LSU. The Tigers struggled to light up the scoreboard in 2025, failing to score more than 25 points against an FBS opponent during the regular season. After such an underwhelming campaign, Tiger fans are eager for Kiffin to lead an offensive turnaround in 2026. Needing to replace so much WR production, Coleman could be the perfect fit to help in that effort.

Coleman has emerged into a star during his two seasons at Auburn. Despite poor QB play, the former 5-star prospect totaled 1,306 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns in his career with the Tigers. This past season, he racked up 56 catches for 708 yards and 5 touchdowns.

Owning a 6'3", 201-pound frame, Coleman is a big play threat who is a matchup nightmare for opposing defenses. Pairing Coleman with Trey'Dez Green at TE in the red zone would be a lethal 1-2 punch. Kiffin will be looking to make a splash (or two) in the portal, and getting Coleman to Baton Rouge would do the trick.
