Louisiana Tech had one of the top transfer portal classes in the country this offseason, bringing in difference makers on both sides of the ball from all levels of college football.
Now, six weeks into the season, the Bulldogs’ transfer class is punching above its weight class and producing at an elite level.

This class, led by a strong defensive portal haul, has put up 345.5 defensive TPR fantasy points so far, ranking second in the nation, behind Colorado.
