Freshman KB enters the transfer window after Lane Kiffin was hired
The Lane Kiffin era in LSU football is ongoing, and list change in Baton Rouge it has already started. Just days after the LSU Tigers announced they were hiring Kiffin as their next head coach, the quarterback room is seeing its first departure. Freshman quarterback Tre People is official entered the transfer portalaccording to On3 Insider Pete Nakos.
The news comes as a quick reaction to mode change. While Kiffin is known for his quarterback development and high-octane offense, his arrival often signals a reset of the existing depth chart. Folks, a talented young signal caller who has yet to see significant action, has apparently decided his future lies elsewhere rather than compete for a spot in Kiffin’s new system.
Nakos reported that Rep. Ed Vasilevski confirmed the move on Friday. The most attractive part of the People’s Portal entry is its clock; at the next station he will have four full years of eligibility remaining. This makes it a very valuable asset for programs looking for a long-term downtown solution rather than a one-year lease.
For LSU, this is standard operating procedure in the modern era of college football. When a new coach comes in, especially one with the same personality and offensive philosophy as Kiffin’s, attrition is inevitable. Kiffin has never been shy about using the transfer portal to build his rosters (as seen during his tenure at Ole Miss), and he probably has his targets in mind to command the Tigers’ 2026 offense.
As the Tigers prepare for the offseason, all eyes will be on how Kiffin rebuilds the quarterback room to fit his scheme. For people, the hiring process starts all over again, this time with a “fresh start” label and plenty of tread on the tires.
