James Larson brings transfer-portal size and depth to LSU’s tight end room
In the 2026 season, James Larson is listed at 6-foot-4 and 237-244 pounds as a redshirt sophomore tight end for LSU, giving the Tigers a big-bodied, experienced depth option after transferring in from SMU[1][5][9]. His selling points are the classic LSU-TE blend: length, versatility, and enough frame to survive in the run game while still offering upside as a pass-catcher in a loaded room[1][10][15]. If you’re looking for a polished star right now, the stat sheet is thin; if you want a developmental athlete with Power-4 size and a chance to carve out a role, Larson fits that mold nicely[1][12].
