Which LSU football player had most success after transferring away from the program?

Most have been busts after transferring (Max Johnson, TJ Finley, et al) but watching Trey Palmer got me thinking of this. I'd have to say it's him. Second would be Kelvin Joseph who got drafted and played for Cowboys (I think?).

Koy Moore had a huge hand in LSU beating Auburn in ‘22.
Played a big part in Alabama beating Auburn in ‘23.
of course he was playing for Auburn in both games.

Justin McMillan wound up having a solid couple of years at Tulane. Those Tulane teams were the step toward getting to where they are today.

Currently, Trey Palmer probably although Kelvin Joseph is probably the highest draft pick (2nd round).
Tyron Johnson has had a surprisingly lengthy NFL career despite going undrafted.
I’d imagine Dwight McGlothern or Landon Jackson might have a shot next year

Neither Max Johnson nor TJ Finley were really busts. They both started for 2 SEC teams, which says they outperformed their talent level. That's not busts, they just were never that talented. Our QB recruiting at that time was pretty weak. I never really thought either would start for LSU, much less another SEC team.
Now that is a bust. I know he has mental issues, but what a waste of talent. Saw him play in high school and he earned every bit of the hype. Promising freshman year, then nothing.

Did Akiem Hicks transfer or did he get kicked out?
Posted on 1/22/24 at 11:33 am to NewportTiger
Possibly Deion Smith or Walker Howard or Logan Diggs

Define success - is it making it to the NFL or just having success at next stop?
Lindsey Scott Jr set records at the FCS level, but wasn't a legit pro prospect.

Ika was 2x all big 12 at baylor

Might be Palmer currently.
But shout out Lindsey Scott Jr., 2022 Walter Payton award winner, broke the FCS record with 60 passing TDs

Players that haven't been mentioned:
Corey Kiner had a 1,000 yard season at Cincinnati, and a solid 5.5 ypc.
Cam Wire started at LT for Tulane.
Xavier Hill started at RT for Memphis.
Kole "Shoe" Taylor had a solid year at West Virginia.
Desmond Little had 29 tackles and 5.5 sacks for UAB.
Sure there are a few more, but most players that transfer out don't do much.
I'm making this up, but LSU players transferring out have about a 30% success rate.

TJ Finley was a bust? Maybe at Auburn, but he had a good year at Texas State:
279-414
67.4%
3439 yards
8.3 yards/attempt
24 TD
8 INT
152.4 Rating
And Trey Quinn had 114 receptions for 1236 yards and 13 TDs at SMU, and got drafted.

If you mean great success at the major college level, I couldn’t think of any. Then after reading the names mentioned above, I realized that it was because there were few if any players whose productivity we really missed.
