LSU Secures Commitment from Northwestern Transfer OL
LSU added another significant piece to its roster through the transfer portal, landing Northwestern offensive lineman Josh Thompson on Friday. The Tigers secured Thompson’s commitment over notable programs like Ohio State and Tennessee, further bolstering their offensive line.
Thompson has been a standout prospect in the transfer portal, ranked as the No. 6 interior offensive lineman by 247Sports. His decision to join LSU adds depth and talent to a critical position group, strengthening the Tigers’ chances for future success.
Before his time at Northwestern, Thompson was a three-star recruit from Fenton High School in Fenton, Michigan. In his recruiting class, he was ranked as the No. 46 interior offensive lineman and the No. 20 overall prospect from Michigan. His high school accolades and current rankings highlight his potential to make an immediate impact on LSU’s offensive line.
Thompson’s commitment is part of a broader wave of momentum for LSU football. The Tigers also received positive news with standout linebacker Harold Perkins announcing his return for the 2025 season. Perkins has been a key player for LSU, and his decision to stay provides stability and leadership for the team moving forward.
LSU, under head coach Brian Kelly, aims to rebound from a disappointing 8-4 regular season this fall. With key additions like Thompson and the retention of star players like Perkins, the Tigers are setting their sights on a return to the College Football Playoff in 2025.
Thompson’s arrival signals LSU’s continued success in leveraging the transfer portal to address team needs and build a competitive roster. As the Tigers prepare for the upcoming season, Thompson’s presence is expected to enhance their offensive line’s performance and contribute to their aspirations for national contention.
Welcome to Baton Rouge, Josh Thompson!
