LSU football has had a busy finish to the week when it comes to the transfer portal.
The Tigers landed a commitment from redshirt sophomore safety transfer Treylan James of Southern. Defensive backs coach Corey Raymond and defensive coordinator Blake Baker didn’t have to go far to search for another piece to the 2026 defense.
James (6-3, 190 pounds) is unranked in the 247sports.com transfer portal ratings. This season, James had 26 tackles, 3 tackles-for-loss and five pass breakups for the Jaguars.

James started off his college career at Prairie View A&M. In two seasons with the Panthers (2023-2024), he appeared in 10 games and recorded 16 tackles.
The Baton Rouge native attended high school at Madison Preparatory Academy and was unranked in the Class of 2023.
James becomes addition No. 19 for LSU’s 2026 transfer portal class.
