Sucks but at least he didn't go to another SEC school.

I wonder who gave him the nickname. West Virginia? I guess they need players also.

Well at least we know it's not about money, no shot WVU is handing him a bigger bag.

Dude probably just wanted guaranteed playing time next season.

They probably are if they are expecting him to compete for a starting job, while LSU offered him depth piece money.

Everybody will be in the portal again next year unless changes are made.

Oh he was. But our offensive deficiencies far outweighed his potential.

I think he fits in that offense perfect. Potential to be a great blocker and go across the middle. I think it's going to work for him and I hope it does.

Good luck to him. I appreciate the fact that he didn’t transfer to a SEC rival like some of our other guys did.

This guy is going to be amazing at West Virginia. He'll get a shot a big NIL in a year or 2, or might just go the NFL after year 3.

Still miss not having him and Kyle Parker.

West Virginia signed a couple of Karr kids this year. Not sure if they have connection to Nola on their coaching staff, but I’m sure having those Karr players signing didn’t hurt when it came to signing Francis.
