The Ole Miss-LSU transitions continue.

Former Rebel wide receiver Winston Watkins will be a Tiger. Watkins, who just finished his freshman season, was a four-star recruit out of Fort Myers, Fla. He was the ninth ranked player in the state and No. 32 wide receiver nationally in the class of 2025 according to 247sports.

Watkins confirmed his commitment to On3.

In his first collegiate season, Watkins made 26 catches for 323 yards and touchdown.

He’s undersized at 5-foot-9, but Watkins has the elite speed Lane Kiffin covets in his wide outs. Watkins becomes the seventh wide receiver transfer into LSU in the portal cycle.
