LSU announced Sunday that they have officially signed Florida State edge rusher Patrick Payton.

The redshirt junior from Miami, Fla., has played in 39 games for the Seminoles with a career total of 110 tackles, 31.5 tackles for loss, and 16 sacks.

Patrick is rated as the top available defensive player in the transfer portal.

LSU signed edge rushers Jimari Butler from Nebraska and Jack Pyburn from Florida last week. Adding Payton to the group puts LSU in a good spot, replacing Bradyn Swinson, Sai'vion Jones, and Da'Shawn Womack.

Tigerdroppings "reporters" are not well-trained. They are just fans with a platform.

So what other developments with this story have come about? That’s the only reason to use “breaking”.

I hope he is invigorated in 2025 with LSU as he did next to nothing in 2024 with FSU. As great as he was in 2023, he was a near non-factor in 2024 with poor effort. He just went through the motions in a lost season.

They were terrible! He was surrounded by no one. He will thrive with Baker and talent around him.

In 2024, he was basically the only talent they had.

I think the top defensive player available says enough.
