LSU had one of the worst pass defenses in college football and cost LSU games against the Florida State Seminoles, Ole Miss Rebels, and the Alabama Crimson Tide. Defensive coordinator Matt House's future is in question, and while the entire defensive coaching staff should be held accountable, LSU also needs to address the personnel in addition to the coaching staff. LSU brought in four transfer portal cornerbacks and all four, for various reasons, were unavailable at some point this season which exposed the lack of depth at that position group. Brian Kelly and his coaching staff need to address this roster hole in the transfer portal going into the 2024 college football season. But the question is: who should they target in the transfer portal?

Locked On's official recruiting insider, Brian Smith, joins Caroline Fenton of Locked On LSU to break down the best DBs in this year's transfer portal class and the approach that Kelly should take in this offseason. Plus, Smith addresses transfer portal and recruiting questions at all positions – should LSU target a QB in the offseason to add depth to a quarterback room that loses Jayden Daniels? Does LSU have a shot at landing Walter Nolen, one of the best defensive players in the country who plans to transfer from Texas A&M? Who replaces Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas, and if those players aren't currently in the Tigers' locker room then where could Kelly and company find them?
