The LSU Tigers and new head coach Lane Kiffin have emerged as a top destination for an elite transfer portal quarterback.

The man who led the program for the last six seasons left them high and dry just a few weeks before the CFP after taking the same job with LSU. To add insult to injury, Chambliss could follow him after he left the door open to entering the transfer portal during his press conference with the media this week.

Lane Kiffin is the “Portal King”, and the LSU Tigers need a QB in the transfer portal. DJ Lagway, Dylan Raiola, Sam Leavitt, and Brendan Sorsby are some of the top-rated QB’s to keep an eye on, but more will hit the portal. It’s #GarlandontheAvenue pic.twitter.com/1Cw2QAGfLh

Murphy, the former Texas and Duke quarterback, transferred to Oregon State this past offseason. The No. 82 overall player in the 247Sports transfer rankings finished the season with 1,805 passing yards and a touchdown-to-interception ratio of 9-to-8. Murphy completed 58.1% of his passes and Oregon State finished the season 2-10.

Frank Wilson's future in the Kiffin era was uncertain, so this may not go down as a loss for LSU. He could have been gone anyhow.
