Sam Spiegelman with Rivals is reporting that LSU sophomore cornerback Eli Ricks is entering his name into the NCAA Transfer Portal.

Ricks, a former five-star prospect from Santa Ana, CA, signed with the Tigers as part of the 2020 class. He played in all 10 games during his true freshman season last year with seven starts.

There were some rumors following the 2020 season that Ricks was thinking about transferring but he remained with the team and played in six games this year.

Ed Orgeron announced on October 13 that Ricks would miss the rest of the season with a lingering injury and would have a procedure done.

Saw that coming despite what was being said from his side…. O has destroyed this program the last 2 years.

Why not at least wait to see who the next HC is? Honestly, though. LSU needs a new mindset so let them go if they're not wanting to be here.

Wish he’d stay, but it is what it is. The best thing for this program might be to clean itself of everything related to the O era.

You know, what is he going to do if we hire Aranda, probably the best defensive play caller in game to run the show? The kids are so friggen premature.

Once new coach is at LSU, a busy portal(two way traffic) will not surprise me.

Totally. Even with a new HC, we will keep Corey Raymond. He plays against the best competition and guards the best WR in practice.

Gosh, I really liked this kid and thought he would be the next big DB here after Stingley bolted. Dang!

This is what’s wrong with the portal. Kid wasn’t just a starter… he was a star. I’m all for kids who are buried by talent leaving to get their shot at the next level. I guess it’s hard to tell who really wants to be part of something and who wants to leach off of success. Guys like Peterson, Adams etc took from the program and added to it in their career. Guys like Gilbert and Ricks came to get the spotlight but proved that they weren’t leaders and didn’t give back.

Our young backups the last 3 games have manned up. Probably as good if not better than when the 2 5 stars were in the line-up. If you don't bleed P&G move on.

Good…anyone that does not truly want to be at LSU shouldn’t be taking up a spot on the roster.
