LSU Tigers defensive back Ryan Robinson Jr. has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal, per On3’s Pete Nakos.

Robinson joined LSU last offseason as a preferred walk-on. He was ranked by the On3 Consensus as a three-star prospect who landed double-digit offers across his high school career. That included verbal scholarships from teams like Nebraska, Oregon, Florida State, Ole Miss, Tennessee and others. 

Wherever he winds up in 2024, he’ll be looking for more opportunity to get onto the field next season.

Brian Kelly shares biggest difference in LSU program now compared to when he arrived

As Brian Kelly enters his third season as the LSU head coach, he feels good about where the Tigers program is.

LSU won 10 games in each of Kelly’s first two seasons, and despite losing several talented players, including Heisman winner Jayden Daniels, Kelly believes the Tigers are ready to start competing for championships this fall.

During Saturday’s spring game, Brian Kelly spoke with ESPN about how the LSU program is different now compared to when he took over.

“I think they’re just at a point now where they understand what the standards are,” Kelly said. “It’s an attention to detail, it’s a laser focus, it’s every single day. This is hard.”

Kelly and his LSU team reached the SEC Championship game in 2022, falling to Georgia, as the Bulldogs went on to win the national title.

Last season, the Tigers had arguably the top offense in the country but struggled on defense and ended the year 10-3. Kelly believes his team is ready to take a step forward in 2024.

“If you want to compete for a championship in this league, you’ve got to be elite. And you can’t get by with just doing it at 90 percent,” Kelly said. “You’ve got to be at 100-plus all the time. So that constant attention to detail is what this team is a lot better at.”
