LSU Football Boosts Offense by Signing Utah Transfer Running Back
LSU has enhanced its football roster by signing Raycine Guillory, a transfer running back from Utah. This move is part of the team’s strategy to strengthen a position that has faced recent challenges. Guillory confirmed the signing during an interview with The Advocate.
Background on Raycine Guillory
Guillory comes with a solid background as a three-star recruit. He was ranked as the No. 478 overall player in the 2025 class by 247Sports composite rankings. After redshirting his freshman year at Utah, he retains four years of eligibility.
Current LSU Running Back Roster
Currently, LSU’s running back depth is a concern. The team has only one scholarship running back, Harlem Berry, who has continued with LSU during the coaching upheaval involving Lane Kiffin. The situation is critical as
- Sophomore Caden Durham
- Junior Kaleb Jackson
- Sophomore Ju’Juan Johnson
- Freshman JT Lindsey
have already announced their intentions to enter the transfer portal.
Guillory’s Stats and Experience
During his limited time at Utah, Guillory recorded only one carry for four yards in the previous season. Standing at 5-foot-9 and weighing 190 pounds, he adds a versatile option to the LSU backfield.
Recent Developments and Goals
In an effort to bolster the running back position further, LSU recently hosted Carter Vargas, a former player from UC Davis, who is also considering a transfer. Guillory marks the second transfer addition for the team, following the commitment of Hawaii wide receiver Jackson Harris, who visited Baton Rouge just days earlier.
With a previous season average of just 22.8 points per game, Coach Kiffin and offensive coordinator Charlie Weis Jr. are tasked with rebuilding and gearing up for a more competitive future.
