Kansas State infielder Seth Dardar commits to LSU out of transfer portal

LSU is adding a big bat out of the NCAA transfer portal. Kansas State infielder Seth Dardar has committed to the Tigers, he announced on his Twitter account on Sunday evening.

Dardar spent just one season with the Wildcats. He hit .326 with 18 doubles, 13 home runs and 45 RBI. He accounted for 39 runs during the season.

“I have decided to come home and live out my dream to play at Louisiana State University!” Dardar wrote. “Thank you to everyone who was a part of my journey that has led me to this position, and thank you Coach Johnson, Coach Jordan, and the rest of the LSU staff for giving me the opportunity to live out this dream. Geaux Tigers!!!”

Before arriving at Kansas State in 2025, Seth Dardar spent three seasons at Columbia. He did not play during the 2024 season due to injury.

During that time, he produced a career slash line of .289/.383/.537. In his sophomore season, he slashed .299/.392/.575 with 11 doubles, one triple and eight home runs while driving in 32 runs. He also scored 32 runs with four stolen bases.

Though he spent only one year at Kansas State, Dardar had nothing but good things to say about the Wildcats on his way out. He penned part of his departure note about Kansas State.

“First and foremost I want to thank Kansas State University and the entire coaching staff for affording me the opportunity to make memories and friendships this year that will last a lifetime,” Seth Dardar wrote. “To the Manhattan community and K-State fan base, thank you for taking me in and making me feel at home. The overwhelming support and love I felt from everyone at Kansas State is something I will cherish forever.”

As things stand, Seth Dardar is set to join one of college baseball’s elite programs. LSU is currently looking to advance to the College World Series again in 2025, needing just one more win over West Virginia in the next two games in the Baton Rouge Super Regional.

LSU won the national title in 2023. That’s certainly something Dardar will be helping the Tigers pursue in 2026.
