LSU is losing one of its quarterbacks, as Walker Howard has decided to enter the transfer portal.

Howard was a decorated 2022 recruit but will look for a quicker path to playing time elsewhere.

It was unlikely that he would have had much of a shot at seeing the field in 2023 with Jayden Daniels and Garrett Nussmeier returning.

Howard was rated by the 247Sports Composite as the 5th-best quarterback in the 2022 class and the No. 40 overall prospect.

The 6-1, 195-pounder chose the Tigers over Florida and also had offers from the likes of Alabama, Arkansas, Notre Dame, Ole Miss, and Texas A&M, among several others.

LSU finished 10-4 in Brian Kelly’s 1st season in Baton Rouge. The Tigers won the SEC West and whipped Purdue in the Citrus Bowl, 63-7.
