BATON ROUGE - With a little over a week until the NCAA transfer portal opens, LSU's 11th player and second offensive lineman announced his intentions of transferring.

Redshirt freshman Coen Echols announced the news via social media that he will leave Baton Rouge.

"After a lot of reflection and prayer, I have decided to enter the transfer portal with three years of eligibility remaining. I am motivated and excited for the next chapter and journey ahead," Echols said in his post.
