LSU junior running back Kaleb Jackson gave it three seasons, and it has not worked for him.
On Friday, Jackson said he planned on entering the NCAA Transfer portal, which is open now for players on teams that have had a coaching change, like LSU.

The next regular portal window runs from Jan. 2-16.
Jackson played in just four games in the 2025 season behind sophomore Caden Durham and freshman Harlem Berry. He rushed seven times for 16 yards and caught five passes for 33 yards.
LSU just lost a reserve running back to the portal on Wednesday in sophomore Ju’Juan Johnson, who does plan on playing in the Texas Bowl for the Tigers against Houston on Saturday, Dec. 27 in Houston (8:15 p.m., ESPN).
In 2024, Jackson had a career-high 44 attempts for 160 yards and caught six passes for 46 yards in 13 games. As a freshman in 2023, he rushed 31 times for 165 yards and scored four touchdowns with six receptions for 53 yards in 13 games.
As a senior at Liberty in 2022, Jackson was the No. 10 running back in the nation by 247sports.com and the No. 7 prospect in Louisiana.
