LSU QB Walker Howard To Enter The NCAA Transfer Portal

by Staff Reporter

January 11, 2023126 Comments

Matt Pendleton-USA TODAY Sports

Multiple sources are reporting that LSU freshman quarterback Walker Howard is entering his name into the NCAA Transfer Portal.

The news was first reported by Mike Scarborough.

Walker, a former five-star prospect from St. Thomas More High School in Lafayette, La., appeared in two games this season with just four pass attempts. He is the son of former LSU quarterback Jamie Howard.

If Walker departs the team, LSU's quarterback room moving forward will be senior Jayden Daniels, redshirt sophomore Garrett Nussmeier, and freshman Rickie Collins. The Tigers also have a commitment from 2024 four-star quarterback Colin Hurley.

Wait your turn, my gosh, you weigh like 190. Get bigger and better and become a TIGER. If not you are TIGER BAIT.

I agree. Howard needs some muscle and he is shorter than I thought he was. Listed as 6’1” but no way. He is more like 5’10” or max 5’11”.

RedPop4•40 months

We see what happens to slight quarterbacks in SEC play.

mrbayoublu•40 months

We never know how it would play out, but here is one way to look at it.

Daniels for 2022 & 2023
Nus for 2024 & 2025
Walker 2026. He would be waiting 4 years.

My guess is, that's what was on Walker's mind.

rob62•40 months

So we lost a WB who couldn’t beat out Daniels or Nussmeier? There is also Ricky Collins Howard would have to contend with so he hauled arse. Adios.

Lsu101205•40 months

Didn't want anyone to leave. But I'd rather this than Nuss if it has to happen. Have fun at TCU I guess.

Lcguy•40 months

Weak! No one wants to compete! If you think your the best QB in the room! Go prove it. Soft mentality now days!

Vernonbrew22•40 months

Kind of a STM tradition. Too much rice dressing

eugene1928LSU•40 months

Exactly

Shiftyplus1•40 months

Pretty pathetic on his part.

Nomadic Bengal•40 months

Spoiled brat moves

FLObserver•40 months

Pretty obvious he spoke to beech way before this decision was made.I wondered why Beech would leave his buddy while he went to TCU. Now we have our answer. Between the transfer portal and paying players i am starting to really dislike college football.

TheTigershark•40 months

Disappointed by this decision

Soft Thomas More

WhoDatNC•40 months

Get used to it. This is the new college football where kids are taught to quit on their teams and run when things aren't going the way you like it. Don't blame the kids, it's what they have been enabled to do.

CanebreakCajun•40 months

We need to be more supportive of the ones who stay, regardless of their skill.

Bayoubengal205•40 months

This is a perfect example of how soft society has gotten and is continuing to get. They're raising these kids to run this country and world into the ground and the sad part is, they honestly believe they are doing the opposite.

Kitonja•40 months

I thought this dude was gonna be good for LSU. Also thought he had a chance to start games this in 2023. But if he thought he couldn't beat out either guy in the next 2 years then that is a red flag.

chuggachugga•40 months

Stop living in the past guy. There is no 5* anything gonna sit the bench for 3 years.

Star players play 3 years in cfb.

Jd isn’t going to magically improve in year 5.

Look at his stats yourself… mediocre… ordinary as in nothing special.

WH and GN both could do as good statistically, but add depth with the pass.

LSU6262•40 months

Kinda like Burrow thinking he couldn't beat out Barrett and Haskins at Ohio St?

rob62•40 months

LSU6262, Burrow put in 3 years, competed, then graduated from Ohio State and had an idiot for a head coach who told him he threw like a girl.

Walker Howard insisted on a Redshirt in 2022 and is leaving after 1 season without even trying to win the job. He could have competed in Spring and see where stood and then transferred if he was unhappy. Instead he simply quit. There is no comparison between Burrow and Howard. Zero.

75503Tiger•40 months

Part of what made Burrow into the player he became was the participation in an elite program and the competition with elite players. This would be a bitch move if he assumes he is already great instead of trying to win the job

75503Tiger•40 months

I will add that Brady never could win the starting job in college but the effort he gave attempting to win it worked out for him too

Bayoubengal205•40 months

Burrow transfered with only 2 years of eligibility left. He gave Ohio State a honest chance. You can't compare those two situations.

Riolobo•40 months

Wow. Does not want to compete against Nuss?

pkf4lsu•40 months

TCU bound. We are fine with Nuss and Hurley as the future after JD

CanebreakCajun•40 months

And Ricky.

MT555•40 months

I honestly don’t understand the hate for Rickey. The guy wants to be a tiger.

DeafVallyBatnR•40 months

He is getting some bad information. What I have seen of him is he is a long way from starting QB. But I bet he ends up at TCU.

bulldogger•40 months

I hate college football.

jafari rastaman•40 months

Young man, this may be the worst decision you have made in your entire life. It isn’t too late to take your name out of The Porral though.

Morpheus•40 months

I personally don’t want men who are confused about being a Tiger no matter how talented.

mcpotiger•40 months

Good luck. Hope their is no competition for the position where you end up..

mcpotiger•40 months

There dammit

MrKnowItAll•40 months

The greener grass on the other side of the fence is sometimes artificial grass.... In other words, other schools you transfer to, have talented QB's as well.

TigerLord2020•40 months

I hope he is successful wherever he goes, but this one hurts. Tiger legacy

rob62•40 months

If he quits on LSU (his supposed dream school) after his RS year he insisted on then I have my doubts he will great success anywhere.

Pepe Lepew•40 months

Why take a redshirt and transfer????
