Buckeyes Court LSU’s Star Receivers Guru
After landing Lane Kiffin to revamp the Tigers’ offense, LSU’s wide receivers coach Cortez Hankton finds himself on the interview trail. The 2022 hire and former NFL pass-catcher, who rose to co-offensive coordinator by 2024, is exploring a spot on Ohio State head coach Ryan Day’s staff. With Ohio State needing a new wide receivers coach after Brian Hartline departed for a head-coaching gig, Hankton brings his Baton Rouge passing prowess—two top-two SEC passing seasons in three years—to the defending national champions.
In a move that proves college coaching is the world’s most elaborate game of musical chairs, Hankton is auditioning for a Buckeyes gig while LSU fans scramble to pronounce “Wolford.” It’s reassuring to know that while momentum shifts faster than a quarterback’s post-snap decision, Americans can still count on two constants: outrage over portal entries and endless hot takes on sideline wardrobes. Stay tuned to see if Hankton leaps to Columbus or if the Buckeye Board opts for a local hero with a fancy clipboard.
Five-Star Freshman OL Bails on Lane Kiffin’s Tigers
Carius Curne, a 6-foot-5, 320-pound five-star interior offensive lineman from Arkansas, is entering the NCAA Transfer Portal after just one season at LSU. Initially attracted under coach Brad Davis, Curne flashed his potential with five starts in seven games. But following Davis’s exit and the arrival of Kentucky’s Eric Wolford on Lane Kiffin’s staff, Curne opted to seek greener pastures. He joins quarterback Colin Hurley as LSU’s second portal entry in a single day, marking the Tigers’ tenth overall departure this cycle.
Behold the modern college football era: athletes treat the transfer portal like Amazon Prime—two-day shipping for gridiron dreams. One semester in Baton Rouge and Curne’s already browsing wishlists for next-level blocking gigs. Meanwhile, Lane Kiffin scrambles to fill trenches like a chef who dropped his souffle. If only LSU offered loyalty coupons or free gum at the portal entrance—maybe then fewer five-stars would bounce after orientation.
