Former Notre Dame RB Logan Diggs commits to LSU

Former Notre Dame running back Logan Diggs announced his transfer portal commitment to LSU Tuesday afternoon.

The 6-foot, 215 pounder will have 2 years of eligibility remaining. 

Diggs on why he chose LSU

“When I walked in those doors, it felt like home. They welcomed my mom and I with open arms. When I spent time with the staff there was never discomfort. I felt like I knew everyone for years. Coach Frank has a great history of developing running backs and getting them draft ready and after talking with him and going around and seeing all the historic monuments and seeing the greats before me, made me realize how much I want to accomplish and how much I haven’t already. I was hungry for more and Lsu,  coach Frank, coach Kelly, Sherman Wilson, and the rest of the supporting staff not only told me why I belonged home but they showed me. Every question and concern was answered, and I knew if I truly wanted to be great, there’s only one place to do it.”

He currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $84K. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

Transfer portal background information

The NCAA Transfer Portal, which covers every NCAA sport at the Division I, II and III levels, is a private database with names of student-athletes who wish to transfer. It is not accessible to the public.

The process of entering the portal is done through a school’s compliance office. Once a player provides written notification of an intent to transfer, the office enters the player’s name in the database and everything is off and running. The compliance office has 48 hours to comply with the player’s request and that request cannot be refused.

Once a player’s name shows up in the portal, other schools can contact the player. Players can change their minds at any point and withdraw from the portal. However, once a player enters the portal, the current scholarship no longer has to be honored. In other words, if a player enters the portal but decides to stay, the school is not obligated to provide a scholarship anymore.

The database is a normal database, sortable by a variety of topics, including (of course) sport and name. A player’s individual entry includes basic details such as contact info, whether the player was on scholarship and whether the player is transferring as a graduate student.

A player can ask that a “do not contact” tag be placed on the report. In those instances, the players don’t want to be contacted by schools unless they’ve initiated the communication.
