OL Kardell Thomas leaving LSU as a graduate transfer
The Tigers are set to return four of five starters on the offensive line as things currently stand, but they’re set to lose quite a bit of depth.
That depth situation got even worse on Wednesday as junior offensive lineman Kardell Thomas opted to enter the transfer portal as a graduate transfer. Thomas appeared in 11 games in four seasons with two starts, both of which came in 2021. He appeared in four games this fall.
Thomas is a former consensus top-100 recruit from University Lab High School in Baton Rouge and a five-star recruit per the 247Sports Composite, will have two remaining years of eligibility.

With Thomas gone, LSU will look to players like Marlon Martinez, as well as true freshmen Zalance Heard and DJ Chester, as depth options for the 2023 season.
