A new transfer portal report has revealed Lane Kiffin’s first big target as the head coach of LSU, and it is a player viewed as the best quarterback available.
On Thursday night, Ole Miss scored a second straight win in the college football playoffs. This time, over the heavy favorite, Georgia. Their success and reaching the semifinals of the tournament prove the roster building and coaching talent of Lane Kiffin. Even if he hasn’t been with the team for their two playoff victories.
While the team he built is attempting to win the program’s fourth national championship this month, Kiffin is busy with the job he took before the start of the playoffs, and that is as the head coach of the LSU Tigers. If he can build a contender at Ole Miss, many believe that with LSU’s immense resources, he could create a perennial title contender.
The road back to championship contention begins this week with the opening of the latest college football transfer portal. The program is expected to be aggressive to get their new $91 million coach more talent. Well, a new report has revealed Kiffin’s first target in the portal, and it is a big one.
Lane Kiffin and LSU to Meet With Brendan Sorsby
According to On3’s Pete Thamel, former Cincinnati QB Brendan Sorsby is set to make visits to both Texas Tech and LSU this week. The junior is viewed by many college football analysts as the best signal caller in the transfer portal, including on Sportsnaut’s list of the top 15 QBs available.
The Tigers have to fill their QB spot for 2026 with Garrett Nussmeier graduating and heading to the NFL in April. Sorsby would be a fantastic replacement.
The former Indiana recruit had his best season yet in 2025 when he threw for 2,800 yards and 27 touchdowns to five interceptions. He had a career-high 155.1 passer rating and also tallied 580 yards and nine more TDs on the ground this past season.
