LSU Lands Elon Quarterback Landen Clark as Lane Kiffin's First Portal Addition

The dual-threat Elon transfer chose LSU following an in-person visit with Lane Kiffin, with the staff still pursuing additional portal quarterbacks.

Overview

  • Clark confirmed his commitment with a social media post after multiple outlets reported the move, choosing LSU over Michigan, Kentucky and James Madison.
  • In 2025 at Elon, the redshirt sophomore completed 56% of his passes for 2,321 yards with 18 touchdowns and eight interceptions, and rushed for 614 yards and 11 scores.
  • On3 reported LSU was the first program to contact Clark once he entered the portal, and a weekend visit to Baton Rouge helped secure his decision.
  • LSU continues its quarterback search as Sam Leavitt weighs options following visits to LSU, Miami and Tennessee, and USC transfer Husan Longstreet visited Baton Rouge.
  • Coverage characterizes Clark as a developmental option rather than a ready-made starter as Kiffin rebuilds the Tigers’ quarterback room during the January window.
