A former 4-star recruit could be leaving Ed Orgeron’s LSU program.

Blair Angulo of 247Sports reports that Tigers sophomore defensive tackle Siaki Ika is entering the NCAA transfer portal. Entering the portal does not bound a player from leaving the program as they can withdraw and stay at the school. Other teams will be able to contact and recruit Ika if he enters the portal.

Ika played in 13 games at nose tackles as a true freshman in 2019, recording 17 tackles and 1.5 tackles for loss. This season, he has recorded statistics in two Tigers games. Ika recorded 3 tackles, including one for loss, at Vanderbilt on Oct. 3. He had 2 tackles in Saturday’s win over South Carolina.

A native of Salt Lake City, Utah, Ika signed with LSU during the Early Signing Period for 2019. He chose Orgeron’s Tigers on Dec. 19, 2018, after visiting Florida the weekend of Dec. 14, 2018. As an uncommitted prospect, he also took visits to Oregon (Nov. 3, 2018) and Utah (Dec. 7, 2018).

Ika was rated 4-stars, the No. 2 recruit in Utah, No. 13 defensive tackle and No. 138 prospect overall nationally in the class of 2019 on the 247Sports Composite. In addition to the schools mentioned above, he had 16 other scholarship offers, including Alabama, Ole Miss, Tennessee and Vanderbilt.
