LSU has its first Transfer Portal brother combo, though not at the same time.

Ohio State true freshman safety Faheem Delane, younger brother of LSU 2025 portal star cornerback Mansoor Delane, has committed to the Tigers as LSU coach Lane Kiffin’s 34th member of his 2026 transfer class.

LANE KIFFIN’S FINAL PORTAL PUSH FEATURING SEVERAL PROSPECT VISITORS

Delane (6-foot-1, 210 pounds) arrived at LSU on Thursday for a visit and was in town on Friday with several other prospects.

Delane joins Kiffin’s No. 1-ranked portal class by 247sports.com as the No. 10 safety in the portal by 247sports.com and No. 143 overall transfer prospect. He was a backup at Ohio State in 2025, making 12 tackles in five games. Delane signed with Ohio State as the No. 8 safety in the country and No. 99 overall prospect from Our Lady of Good Counsel in Olney, Maryland. He was the No. 3 player in his state.

The elder Delane signed with LSU’s No. 1-ranked 2025 portal class last year as the No. 15 cornerback in the portal and No. 111 overall transfer from Virginia Tech. As a senior, he then became only the fourth defensive back in LSU history to be named a unanimous All-American and is expected to be a high first round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft in April.

*On3’s Team Transfer Portal Ranking Index utilizes the On3 (P)erformance score to measure a team’s production during the transfer process, compared relative against its overall roster, not just portal additions. This proprietary algorithm determines if a school has improved its overall team talent, stayed the same, or declined in talent during the transfer window.
