LSU football has earned a huge win in the transfer portal. Former Oklahoma wide receiver Nic Anderson has announced his commitment to join the Tigers in 2025. Anderson missed all of last season because of injury, but was one of the top wideouts in the portal.

Anderson has racked up 38 catches for 798 yards and 10 touchdowns across 17 collegiate games. He is entering his fourth collegiate year, which could potentially become his biggest and most important before he considers taking his talent to the NFL in 2026.

The Sooners are losing a medley of playmakers along with Anderson. Wide receivers Jaquaize Pettaway, Jalil Farooq, and Andrel Anthony also won't be returning.

As for LSU, who are getting a pass catcher that brings ample size to the position at 6-foot-4, 209 pounds, will attempt to bring back the air attack that has disappeared at times throughout the season. The program continues to dominate the transfer portal, with a class that is in the running for one of the best in the country.

The LSU football team is set for its appearance against Baylor in the Kinder's Texas Bowl on December 31, and then it should be another exciting offseason to look forward to for the Tigers. The Tigers are 8-4, with significant wins over Ole Miss and South Carolina.

Anderson's commitment to play in Baton Rouge is another large string of successful waves in the transfer portal. Head coach Brian Kelly further bolstered the defense on Monday, and have also gotten another wide receiver commitment Florida State's Destyn Hill.

Starting quarterback Garrett Nussmeier also previously announced his plans to return to LSU for his senior season, and he should have no issue forming a connection with Anderson once they are on the field together.
