LSU tight end Ka’Morreun Pimpton has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal, signaling his departure from the Tigers. A former four-star recruit from the Class of 2023, Pimpton was highly regarded for his 6’6” frame and athletic potential, ranking among the top tight ends in his recruiting class. Originally committed to Vanderbilt, Pimpton flipped to LSU during the recruiting cycle, influenced by Brian Kelly’s vision for his role in the team.
Pimpton struggled to carve out significant playing time in Baton Rouge. During the 2024 season, he played primarily in a reserve role and on special teams, appearing in ten games but registering minimal offensive contributions. Despite his potential, he was unable to break through in LSU’s depth chart, which included established players like Mason Taylor and emerging talents in the tight end group.
Pimpton’s departure reflects a broader trend of roster turnover as players seek better opportunities in a crowded collegiate landscape. For LSU, it adds another position to address through recruiting or the transfer portal as they look to solidify their roster for the future.
This move highlights the challenges young players face in programs with deep talent pools, often prompting them to explore opportunities for more playing time elsewhere. Pimpton’s future destination remains unknown, but his size and athleticism will likely attract interest from other programs.
