LSU’s Dominic Livingston: ‘family issues’ led to choice to transfer to school closer to home
Former LSU defensive tackle Dominic Livingston said “family issues” led to him entering the NCAA transfer portal last week.
The 6-foot-3, 350-pound Houston native posted a written statement on Twitter on Wednesday morning thanking the LSU coaching staff and players.
“We have a bond that can’t be broken and LSU and Baton Rouge will always have a special place in my heart,” wrote Livingston, who appeared in one game as a true freshman last season and did not record a tackle. “However, due to family issues, I have decided to separate from LSU and further my academic and athletic aspirations back home in the state of Texas. I wish the entire LSU family my absolute best in the future.”Livingston did not say what school he would be transferring to.
Livingston was the second LSU defensive lineman to enter the portal this week. True freshman Davin Cotton entered the portal on Feb. 11 but withdrew his name from the portal a few days later.
Players can enter the transfer portal, but it doesn’t automatically mean they will transfer. They have the option to remove their names from the portal.
