redshirt freshman wide receiver plans to enter the transfer portal, his agent, Casey Gunn of SetVision Management, told on Sunday.

Billiot’s decision to enter the portal came hours after LSU officially hired Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin as its next head coach.

In two seasons at LSU, Billiot played in one game and never caught a pass. He was a four-star recruit and the No. 25 wide receiver in the nation in the Class of 2024, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings.

Billiot is the first player from the 2025 team to say he will enter the transfer portal. LSU’s regular season came to a close Saturday when the Tigers fell to Oklahoma 17-13 on the road.

Wide receiver Jelani Watkins is the lone wideout remaining from LSU’s 2024 recruiting class. The Tigers also have two freshman wide receivers slated to return next season in TaRon Francis and Phillip Wright, among others.
