LSU coach Lane Kiffin did not have to study a lot of film on his latest Transfer Portal addition.
No. 3-ranked guard/center Devin Harper played for Kiffin at Ole Miss as a true freshman in the 2025 season before Kiffin became the Tigers’ coach.
Harper (6-foot-4, 315 pounds) is the No. 80 overall prospect in the portal by 247sports.com. A four-star prospect out of Calvary Baptist in Shreveport, Harper originally committed to LSU on Jan. 30, 2024, but Kiffin flipped him to Ole Miss, and Harper signed with the Rebels in the early period on Dec. 4, 2024.
And he has flipped back. Harper was the No. 131 prospect in the country in 2025, No. 7 guard/center and No. 3 player in Louisiana out of Calvary. He is Kiffin’s sixth offensive lineman portal commitment and 33rd overall in the No. 1 class in the country by 247sports.com
Harper is the second portal player from Ole Miss to follow Kiffin to LSU, joining No. 27 wide receiver Winston Watkins. He played in six games last season, so he will be a sophomore at LSU.
