LSU pivoted to Washington QB Demond Williams in one of the wildest portal twists we’ve ever seen. Just days after telling the Huskies he would stay—and signing a revenue-share contract—Williams entered the transfer portal. Now Washington is exploring legal action to keep him from transferring to Baton Rouge, but established precedent suggests schools cannot block a player from leaving or from competing elsewhere. So has LSU finally found its quarterback for 2026?

We break down exactly what Williams’s Washington contract does and doesn’t mean, why the law favors player mobility, and how quickly Lane Kiffin and Charlie Weis Jr. had to adjust LSU’s roster plan after the Sam Leavitt visit. Speaking of Leavitt, that recruitment looked like a slam dunk—VR room tour, hoops game with Whit Weeks—until LSU changed direction. The most likely reason? Leavitt’s injury history, which we detail and explain why it became a red flag for LSU’s long-term build.

Plus:
• inside the Washington-LSU legal chess match,
• what happened behind the scenes with Leavitt,
• and how this decision impacts LSU, Ole Miss, Kentucky, and the SEC portal dominoes.

Has Kiffin landed his first signature QB—or is more chaos coming? Let’s dig in.
