Big transfer news out of the Southeastern Conference on Thursday as former LSU starting offensive tackle Dare Rosenthal has made the decision to stay in the league.

While many had Baylor, where former LSU defensive coordinator Dave Aranda is currently head coach, as a likely landing spot for Rosenthal, the big man has made the decision to transfer to Kentucky. News of Rosenthal’s decision was broke by Matt Jones of Kentucky Sports Radio.

This offseason, Rosenthal passed on the opportunity to leave LSU early for the 2021 NFL Draft. A little over a week ago, Rosenthal made the decision to leave LSU after reportedly violating school policies that may have resulted in a suspension down in Baton Rouge.

Prior to that news, Rosenthal was projected to start at left tackle for the Tigers.

Rosenthal confirmed the news with the following post:
