In the fast-paced world of LSU football’s transfer portal frenzy, one unlikely star has emerged as the program’s secret weapon: young Christian “Cookie” Kiffin, nephew of head coach Lane Kiffin. At just 12 years old, Cookie isn’t signing NIL deals or running routes—he’s dominating the pickleball court and winning over recruits in ways no coordinator could match.
Recent transfers have spilled the beans: Cookie’s got a “killer” pickleball game that seals the deal. New wide receiver Jackson Harris bonded instantly with Coach Kiffin after an epic session featuring Cookie, calling the Tigers “second-to-none” and crediting the family vibe. Tight end Malachi Thomas laughed about getting smoked on the court by the kid, saying Lane’s “secret recruiting tactic” involved Cookie’s paddle skills leaving opponents humbled.
Whether it’s crushing family matches (even schooling his uncle and cousin Landry in past showdowns) or casually outplaying portal visitors in Baton Rouge, Cookie turns casual hangs into commitment catalysts. Fans dub him the “Closer” for a reason—his killer drop shots and relentless energy mirror the Tigers’ new aggressive era.
Wholesome, competitive, and pure LSU charm, Cookie Kiffin is proving that sometimes the biggest plays happen off the field. Geaux get ‘em, Cookie!
