LSU veteran offensive lineman to enter NCAA transfer portal
LSU has seen several linemen enter the NCAA transfer portal this offseason, and now we can add another name to that list.
On Wednesday, it was reported by multiple outlets that backup guard Kardell Thomas was going to explore his options in the portal.
Per reports, Thomas will have 2 years of eligibility remaining at his new school. He’s the fourth LSU backup offensive lineman to enter the portal already this offseason:

Good luck Big Dog, I was hoping you would get it together while at LSU. I know you love LSU and understand you transferring, looking for playing time. You now have that LSU Degree, Geaux Tigers!
We had high hopes for him at first, but it didn’t work out. Good luck to him.
Best of luck to him unless he plays against LSU. He just never could quite get it together and break through. He probably saw he was about to drop further down the depth chart.
