## Resource

Fall camp kicks off next week for LSU, and the whole football world is watching to see how Lane Kiffin pieces together this revamped roster. The Tigers landed a quarterback wildcard in Sam Leavitt, a top transfer from ASU cleared to play after an injury, who’s skipping SEC Media Days to train. Wide receiver Jayce Brown, ranked third in the portal, is expected to lead a young receiving corps, while sophomore running back Harlem Berry battles for the starting role. On defense, they’ve added Princewill Umanmielen, the No. 1 defensive end in the portal and a first-team All-SEC pick for 2026, and safety Ty Benefield from Boise State, poised to anchor the back end. The next few weeks will define whether this new-look LSU team can gel fast and make noise in the SEC. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
