Gage Joins LSU: RB Depth Bolstered by UCF Transfer
21 Jan
Summary
- Stacy Gage, a freshman running back from UCF, has signed with LSU.
- He is the fourth transfer portal running back added by the LSU staff.
- Gage rushed for 63 yards and one touchdown for the Knights last season.
LSU football has significantly strengthened its running back unit by securing the commitment of UCF freshman tailback Stacy Gage through the transfer portal. Gage's arrival marks the fourth running back addition for the Tigers' new offensive coaching staff via the transfer portal this offseason.
In his previous season with UCF, Gage contributed 63 rushing yards and scored one touchdown. The 5-foot-11, 210-pound player sought a new opportunity after limited playing time. He was a three-star prospect in high school and had garnered interest from major Power Four programs, including Ole Miss, where LSU's current offensive staff previously coached.
This acquisition is viewed as a strategic development move for both LSU and Gage. With established players like Harlem Berry and Caden Durham already on the roster, Gage's immediate playing time may be limited. However, his addition enhances overall competition and depth within the freshman running back group.
The NCAA transfer portal window officially closed on January 16, 2026. Players who entered the portal before this deadline are still eligible to sign with new schools, as is the case with Gage's decision.
