The LSU Tigers and head coach Lane Kiffin have the nation's No. 1 transfer portal class in the country. With 32 commitments, LSU has the second-biggest transfer portal class in the SEC behind Arkansas (35 commitments).

LSU's latest addition is former Georgia Bulldogs and Maryland Terrapins offensive lineman Aliou Bah. The 6-foot-6, 330-pound offensive lineman was born in Memphis, Tennessee, and will now be much closer to home. Bah committed to LSU over several other interested SEC schools including Auburn, Arkansas and Missouri.

Bah returned to the portal for the second time after spending the 2024 and 2025 college football seasons with Maryland. He was a starter for the Terrapins over the past year and has logged 1,500 career snaps. Bah has allowed just one sack in his career.

Despite Bah's success as a pass blocker, Maryland struggled in 2025. The Terrapins went 4-8 and ended the season on a eight-game losing streak. Maryland failed to have a running back top 100 yards in a single game all season.

Bah originally signed with Georgia as three-star recruit in the class of 2022. The big offensive lineman redshirted in 2022 and then played in three games in 2023 before transferring to Maryland.

Bah is ranked as the No. 923 player in the transfer portal, per 247Sports. He's ranked as a three-star transfer and is the No. 67 interior offensive lineman nationally.
