LSU baseball outfielder enters transfer portal after two years with the Tigers
Former LSU Baseball outfielder Ashton Larson entered the transfer portal Monday, according to multiple reports.
Larson spent two season in Baton Rouge and saw most of his time as a true freshman in 2024. He fell short of earning an every day role during LSU's national championship run, playing mostly as a late-game defensive substitution and pinch hitter.
During his first season donning the purple and gold, Larson made 53 appearances with 40 starts. He batted .298 with 25 runs, 16 RBI, nine doubles and three home runs. He led the team in SEC play with a .337 batting average. In 2025, he batted .256 through 39 plate appearances with 10 hits and 12 RBI.
Larson joined the program as the country's No. 23 outfielder and No. 78 overall, per Perfect Game. The outlet rated him the best prospect out of Kansas. The Overland Park native will most likely make a move within the power four.
With outfielders Chris Stanfield, Jake Brown and Ethan Frey all expected to return for another season, it was unlikely that Larson would make the cut for a starting role.

LSU's Brian Kelly "bullish" on the No. 9 Tigers as he enters a pivotal 4th season
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — LSU coach Brian Kelly doesn't sound worried about managing expectations as he enters what could be a pivotal fourth season with the Tigers. Not even after a 2024 campaign in which LSU fell short of 10 victories for the first time since Kelly arrived on the bayou from Notre Dame. 'I love what I've seen about this football team and feel that's why I've been bullish on our team,' Kelly said. 'You got to go win the games and execute when you need to execute. But I like where we're at.' When Kelly was signed to a 10-year contract worth about $100 million after the 2021 season, he was expected to have LSU back in contention for national titles sooner than later. Instead, the Tigers failed to clinch a spot in college football's first 12-team playoff last season. After that, Kelly went about ramping up his program's already considerable ability to provide financial inducements to transfer players and high school recruits — starting with his own $1 million donation to the Bayou Traditions football fund. Next came a slew of signings out of the transfer portal to complement a handful of high-profile returning players — a couple of whom could have left for the NFL, but decided they were better off staying in Baton Rouge for another year. LSU has a likely Heisman Trophy candidate at quarterback in senior Garrett Nussmeier, who passed for 4,052 yards and 29 touchdown last season. On defense, they welcomed back play-making linebacker Harold Perkins, who was once widely projected to enter the draft, but decided instead to remain with the Tigers after a knee injury derailed his 2024 campaign. Kelly's compliments flow about each position group, even an offensive line that has lost four veteran starters — all of them taken in last spring's draft. 'I've coached for a long time, a lot of guys in the NFL, a lot of first-round draft picks,' Kelly said. 'I've got a pretty good eye for what an offensive line looks like. This group is going to be really good.' LSU is ranked ninth in the the preseason AP Top 25 Poll and will have a chance right out of the gate to move up. They visit No. 4 Clemson in Week 1, when LSU's Tigers will try to snap a streak of five straight season-opening losses. A better start Kelly asserted that his staff has built much of the offseason around the goal of looking sharper for a Week 1 match-up that would appear to be more formidable than any of the previous five LSU lost. 'If you're just reacting to not having a win in the opener to feeding them chicken wings instead of, you know, steak, then you're reacting in a manner that doesn't give you an opportunity to be successful,' Kelly said. 'We've addressed this in January. We addressed it with the guys that we brought in, and we addressed it in the way we trained our football team. We addressed it in spring ball and then into our offseason.' Going deepNussmeier should have no shortage of speed and talent at receiver. Chris Hilton, Zavion Thomas and Aaron Anderson are the likely starters, with Nic Anderson, Barion Brown and Kyle Parker all pushing for playing time. 'I would be less than honest if I didn't say it's as deep (a receiver group) as I've ever had,' Kelly said, adding that Hilton and Brown Speaker 'can run past anybody.' 'The real deal here is that we're going to get over the top of a lot of defenses with those two guys,' he said. Line items Kelly went to the transfer portal to help revamp his offensive line. He lured Braelin Moore from Virginia Tech to play center, while Northwestern transfer Josh Thompson is expected to play right guard. LSU's lone returning starter is left guard DJ Chester. Sophomore Tyree Adams is expected to take over at left tackle. Second-year player Weston Davis has taken most first-team snaps at right tackle, but has seen some competition from freshman Carius Curne, a top 2025 recruit who is 6-foot-5 and 320 pounds,. Adams calls Curne 'the strongest freshman I have ever seen.' Defensive presence Perkins' return gives LSU two veteran leaders and established play makers at linebacker — the other being preseason AP All-American Whit Weeks. 'Presence is impactful right there,' Kelly said. 'People talk about missing somebody. You know, it's hard to replace great players, but it's even harder to replace great leaders. And those guys lead by example and make a huge difference.' Schedule highlights In addition to the opener at Clemson, LSU's marquee match-ups include a home date with No. 15 Florida on Sept. 13; at No. 21 Mississippi on Sept. 27; No. 13 South Carolina at home on Oct. 11; No. 19 Texas A&M at home on Oct. 25; at No. 8 Alabama on Nov. 8; and No. 18 Oklahoma at home on Nov. 29. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season.

How did LSU football star LBs Harold Perkins Jr., Whit Weeks look during first practice?
BATON ROUGE — What does it mean for LSU football's defense to have a healthy Harold Perkins Jr. and Whit Weeks back in the fold? The linebacker duo took the field for the Tigers' first preseason practice Wednesday morning, the first time the two have practiced alongside one another in nearly a year. "Presence," LSU coach Brian Kelly said following LSU's practice about having Weeks and Perkins back. "We all appreciate that it's Day 1 and we're trying to get our feet in the ground and play football, but presence is impactful. LSU FOOTBALL LINEBACKER PRESEASON PREVIEW "We see them, you feel them, you hear them." In September, Perkins went down against UCLA in LSU's fourth game last season with an ACL tear and missed the remainder of the 2024 campaign. His injury forced Weeks into more of a prominent role within the Tigers' defense and he flourished, leading the team in tackles and clearing the next defender by nearly 40 stops. In the Texas Bowl in December, Weeks suffered a dislocated ankle, which needed surgery to repair. Both Perkins and Weeks missed spring practice and some more time this offseason going through rehab, but they have arrived at preseason practice fully healthy. The tandem were both named to the Dick Butkus Award preseason watch list Wednesday, an award that goes to college football's top linebacker. "When somebody is not around in a room, you can kind of feel the temperature change a little bit. The temperature is a little bit different when those two guys are in the room," Kelly said. "It's hard to replace great players but it's even harder to replace great leaders and those guys lead by example and make a huge difference."

Why Garrett Nussmeier, Whit Weeks sat out, were limited during LSU football practice
BATON ROUGE — LSU football has reached the point in preseason practice where bumps and bruises are going to flare up. But there's also some load management that's needed. Junior linebacker Whit Weeks did not participate in the Tigers' 14th practice Friday morning. Senior quarterback Garrett Nussmeier was limited in drills and overall work, as well. Media members were able to view LSU's entire session and Weeks spent a large portion of practice off to the side on the exercise bike. LSU football coach Brian Kelly said that players like Weeks and Nussmeier were on "off days" as the staff is managing their workload this preseason. LSU FOOTBALL PRACTICE OVERREACTIONS "Whit Weeks, we're not going to have him practice five days in a row until we get into game week," LSU head football coach Brian Kelly said. "He'll be back out there tomorrow, he'll scrimmage tomorrow. "With Nuss, it's more about managing his throws. He made a number of throws where we give him some time to back off. He'll be back out tomorrow, full go, scrimmaging. Again, it's just maintenance on some of these guys." Nussmeier re-aggravated a pre-existing condition with patellar tendonitis in his left knee last week from a procedure he had done back in 2023. Weeks is coming off a dislocated ankle injury in the Texas Bowl last December. He missed all of spring drills while and going through rehab and was fully cleared by the start of the Tigers' summer conditioning program at the beginning of June. Friday was Weeks' first missed practice of the fall. Early in the preseason, he was limited the first few days as the staff was just being cautious with him. Wide receiver Chris Hilton Jr. and safety Jardin Gilbert missed practice due to graduation. Cory Diaz covers the LSU Tigers for The Daily Advertiser as part of the USA TODAY Network.
