Major College Football Program Lands No. 1 Transfer Portal Class In 2026

The LSU Tigers have claimed the nation's No. 1 transfer portal class for the 2026 college football cycle, according to multiple rankings, including ESPN and 247Sports. Under head coach Lane Kiffin, LSU aggressively reloaded after a strong season, landing elite talent that positions them as a top SEC contender and national title threat next year. The class is headlined by blockbuster additions like former Arizona State quarterback Sam Leavitt (No. 1 overall portal player), elite offensive tackle Jordan Seaton (No. 1 OT in the portal, formerly a five-star recruit), and other high-impact pieces across the roster. Seaton's commitment capped a historic haul, giving LSU one of the most talented offensive lines in the country while addressing key needs at quarterback and skill positions.ESPN's Craig Haubert and 247Sports composite scores placed LSU atop the leaderboard, narrowly edging competitors like Texas and Texas Tech. With a massive influx of proven veterans and blue-chip transfers, the Tigers have transformed their roster in one portal window, bolstering depth and star power for a championship push in 2026. #TransferPortal #ESPN #LSU
