Moss visited LSU’s campus over the weekend for the spring game. He caught six passes for 49 yards and a score as a freshman in 2016, including this awesome grab in Week 5.

Moss was the highest-rated player in NC State’s 2016 recruiting class, coming in at No. 123 nationally on Rivals.com.

At LSU, Moss will play for Canada, the first-year Tigers offensive coordinator who recruited him to NC State when he was the offensive coordinator under Dave Doeren. Doeren decided to fire Canada after the 2015 season and Canada resurfaced at Pitt, where he installed his offense with much success. Canada was a finalist for the Broyles Award (top assistant) during his lone year at Pitt, helping him land on Ed Orgeron’s staff at LSU.

Moss will sit out the 2017 season to satisfy NCAA transfer requirements before having three seasons of eligibility to play for the Tigers. LSU also landed Texas Tech transfer Breiden Fehoko last week. Fehoko, a defensive lineman, will have two years of eligibility remaining after sitting out in 2017. He was a two-year starter for the Red Raiders.
