LSU lands Elon transfer Landen Clark to shore up 2026 quarterback depth
LSU landed Elon transfer Landen Clark as its first scholarship quarterback for 2026, choosing the Tigers over Kentucky, Michigan and James Madison after a visit. The 6'0", 186-pound quarterback started 12 games for Elon, throwing for 2,321 yards with 18 touchdowns and eight interceptions, and he has three years of eligibility remaining. Clark arrives as LSU’s quarterback room is thinned by Garrett Nussmeier’s eligibility ending and Colin Hurley and Ju’Juan Johnson entering the transfer portal, with LSU continuing to pursue portal targets such as Sam Leavitt and Husan Longstreet and hosting Brendan Sorsby.
