BREAKING: LSU’s Jersey Wolfenbarger to Enter Transfer Portal, Becomes Fourth Tiger to Depart
In a significant development for LSU women’s basketball, forward Jersey Wolfenbarger is set to enter the NCAA transfer portal, becoming the fourth player from the Tigers’ roster to do so this offseason. The move underscores a period of major transition for head coach Kim Mulkey’s squad following a season filled with both high expectations and internal turbulence.
Wolfenbarger, a 6-foot-5 Arkansas native, transferred to LSU in 2023 after two seasons at the University of Arkansas. Known for her length and defensive versatility, she brought much-needed size and potential to the Tigers’ frontcourt. However, she saw limited playing time during the 2024 season, which may have contributed to her decision to explore other opportunities.
Her departure follows those of fellow LSU players Last-Tear Poa, Aalyah Del Rosario, and Janae Kent, all of whom have either entered the portal or announced intentions to leave the program. With four players now exiting, questions are beginning to swirl about the internal dynamics within the team and what roster changes lie ahead for the Tigers.
LSU finished the 2024 season with a strong record but fell short of a national championship, fueling speculation of underlying discontent within the locker room. Wolfenbarger’s decision adds another wrinkle to an already dramatic offseason, especially as Mulkey looks to rebuild and refocus heading into the 2025 campaign.
The transfer portal remains active, and with Wolfenbarger’s size and experience, she’s expected to draw interest from several Power Five programs in need of a defensive-minded post presence. As one of the most intriguing names now available, her next destination will be closely watched by fans and analysts alike.
Stay tuned for updates as the college basketball transfer cycle continues to unfold.
