Notre Dame tight end George Takacs announced Monday morning that he is entering the NCAA transfer portal as a graduate transfer.

The news is significant for LSU as the Tigers are in search of a tight end from the transfer portal and no one is more familiar with Takacs than LSU coach Brian Kelly who recruited and coached him at Notre Dame.

Takacs, a 6-6, 247-pounder from Naples, Fla. served as Notre Dame's backup tight end this past season catching just three passes for 36 yards, and one touchdown. The former four-star recruit should have two seasons of eligibility remaining at his next school.

He was an All American LB in HS and I bet he could transition back in to The position.

With all these traditional names added if we get him. George. Harold , Will, Nathan , Jay, Greg, Joe, Noah . Almost Biblical

Recall that Kole Taylor is the only Tiger ever to have sense enough to let someone steal his shoe and throw it 20 yards downfield...In doing that he got us a win that we probably should not have had...love Kole Taylor...still can't believe they credited Max Johnson with winning the game....

I remember him on Star Trek. Wouldn't have thought at 80 years old he would have any eligibility left. Super Senior for sure.

Has kelly brought any nd players with him? Feel like he burned bridges by leaving ND.

If he was a #2 TE at ND under Kelly, why would he want to come to LSU and be a #2 again?

#2 to who?

Does make you wonder how Kelly plans to use Mashburn, Taylor and Bech going forward if he were to bring in a TE with only two years of eligibility remaining.

Looks like he could throw a block if he had to

This would be a great get. I have a feeling this has already been discussed by our coach. Prototypical tight end.

If he can block well and catch 30 passes, come on down.

Can’t hurt. He’d definitely get an opportunity here for playing time

Doesn’t hurt to add talent. Mashburn seems like an HBack. This guys could play in the end of the line. Imagine both in the game at times. More options
