LSU is expected to promote Donovan Tate to director of recruiting, succeeding the newly elevated Jon Randall “J.R.” Belton in the role.

The move, reported by Matt Zenitz of CBS and 247 Sports, is the latest in continued offseason staff reshuffling in Baton Rouge.

Tate originally joined the Tigers’ staff as a recruiting specialist two years ago before earning a title last year as assistant director of player personnel.

The Hattiesburg, Miss., native and former Nicholls State wide receiver began his coaching career in his home state at the high school level and Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College before spending 2023 at Norfolk State with former Southern coach Dawson Adams.

LSU promoted Belton, going into his fifth year with the program, to director of football operations this week, opening the door for Tate’s latest move up.
