LSU freshman defensive tackle Davin Cotton has entered his name into the NCAA Transfer Portal. The news was first reported by Shea Dixon of 247Sports and LSU confirmed the report, according to The Advocate.

Cotton appeared in two games during the 2018 season, recording one tackle vs. Southeastern LA and two tackles vs. Rice.

The Shreveport, La native was four-star prospect out of Evangel Christian Academy and was rated the No. 9 player for the state of Louisiana for the class of 2018.

Schools now have the option to recruit Cotton but he could also remove his name from the transfer portal if he chooses to remain at LSU.

oh come on, if you want to get to the highest level you have to compete against the best and work even harder than the best why leave after 1 year? sounds like lack of chest

Or maybe... just maybe he's leaving due to personal issues but yes. Let's question is physical well being bc we're small minded fans..

Someone in the other thread was just saying this guy was going to blow up for LSU lol. Guess he'll be blowing up somewhere else.

Nothing's final. Mr. Cotton has every right to change his mind and stay at LSU.

LOL. Has he not seen our DL depth chart? He'll likely start at DE in 2020.

Not at DE he wouldn't.

Could this be because of scholarship numbers?

I was wondering the same thing. If he is being encouraged to look around. The guy appears to be a little undersized for DL at the SEC level.

More of 4-3 DT and he’s not playing much this year anyways. Maybe just testing the free agency

This kid is very athletic for his size and i expected big things from him at LSU. This sucks.

Wtf, man we are going to miss him and he was going to play. I cant believe he bounced when he knows as a redshirt junior or redshirt senior. He would be top dog and be physically farther along then everyone... man that is upsetting. I was really hoping these guys were going to see the value with the difference the experience is going to make for fehoko lawrence and guys like Logan, Farrell... DANG MAN

I hate that he's leaving BUT he's leaving for a reason, either he felt he couldn't compete at the SEC level or wasn't mentally tough enough to fight through, or both, either way if he's leaving I'm guessing he wasn't going to contribute...hate to say it because I'm from Shreveport but another former Evangel player that didn't live up to expectations

So those are the only 2 reasons he would want to leave the program, huh?

I've always thought that Jenkins, after watching him as a Jr when they played Woodlawn in the playoffs his Jr year, had the higher upside due to his size,strength, quickness combo....hope he lives up to it....we're gonna need him this year

It's a bold move, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for him.

There has to be more to this story. I don’t think playing time is the issue.

Get used to this guys....recruits are going to use PORTAL as a way to put pressure to secure playtime. Entitlement is ruining this generation!!!! This should be a one way ticket and no second chances. These kids want to go through a 2nd recruitment process and have no regards for the team or School!!!

If he's #54, he's too fat for the SEC.

Hope that he decides to stay, but will understand if he leaves.

The 2020 recruiting class becomes even more crucial. We’re off to a decent start at DT for ‘20
