Oklahoma TE transfer Bauer Sharp signs with LSU
LSU has landed one of the top tight ends available in the transfer portal. Former Oklahoma tight end Bauer Sharp has signed with the Tigers, according to On3’s Pete Nakos.
Sharp led Oklahoma in receptions and receiving yards this past season, finishing with 42 receptions for 324 yards and two touchdowns. It was his first season with the Sooners after transferring in from Southeastern Louisiana University.
Now, Sharp is heading back to Louisiana to play for Brian Kelly and LSU. He should be a top option for quarterback Garrett Nussmeier in 2025.
Sharp signed with Southeastern Louisiana as a quarterback, before switching to tight end during the spring of 2022.
Sharp caught 11 passes for 78 yards and a touchdown during his first season playing tight end for the Lions and added 10 carries for 83 yards. He was even more productive in 2023, catching 29 passes for 288 yards and three touchdowns.
Sharp showed that he can make plays at the SEC level with his play in 2024. Now he will look to be a big-time contributor for LSU in 2025.

Garrett Nussmeier announces return to LSU for 2025 season
As mentioned, the news about Sharp committing to LSU came after Tigers quarterback Garrett Nussmeier announced earlier this week that he is returning for the 2025 season.
Nussmeier has played in 30 career games for the Tigers across four seasons already in Baton Rouge.
“I feel like my time at LSU is not over. I’m officially announcing I’m returning for my final year of eligibility. And I’m fully committed to bringing this university a championship. My teammates, coaches and the fans will get the absolute best out of me every single day until we complete that goal. Go Tigers,” Nussmeier said in a video.
Nussmeier got his first chance to be the full-time starter for LSU in 2024 and showed flashes of immense arm talent. He finished the 12-game regular season with 3,739 passing yards on 63.7% completions and 26 touchdowns to 11 interceptions. He also rushed for a trio of touchdowns.
