Winston Watkins Shines in LSU Debut | LSU Tigers Football News

Lane Kiffin’s LSU offense exploded in their big win over Clemson, thanks to a surprise star: Winston Watkins Jr. The newly minted Tigers’ $40M transfer haul paid off as Watkins, fresh off the Ole Miss bench, hauled in seven catches for 110 yards and a TD — becoming Sam Leavitt’s go-to target. Despite being a sophomore with limited snaps last year, Watkins’ familiarity with Kiffin’s system made him the perfect fit. With 335 total passing yards and Leavitt throwing for 230 before backups took over, LSU’s new-look attack is firing on all cylinders. Now, they turn their focus to Louisiana Tech this Saturday at 6:30 PM CT — aiming to start 2-0 under Kiffin’s reign.
