LSU football lands West Virginia, Southeastern Louisiana transfers
LSU's perusal through the transfer portal continues as it signed one and earned a commitment from another Friday.
Southeastern Louisiana cornerback A'Zyrian Alexander, a two-time FCS All-American performer, signed with the Tigers. Earlier Friday morning, West Virginia senior defensive lineman Jordan Jefferson announced his commitment to transfer to LSU via his Twitter page.
Alexander has two years of eligibility remaining and adds big-time playmaking ability at a position of need for Brian Kelly and the Tigers defense. During his sophomore season, Alexander recorded three interceptions and four pass breakups and totaled 27 tackles.
