Former LSU DL Fitzgerald West Reveals Transfer Destination
Former LSU defensive lineman Fitzgerald West has revealed his Transfer Portal destination. The Louisiana native will return to his hometown to suit up for the Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns.
West, who played his high school ball for Lafayette Christian Academy, will have three years of eligibility remaining.
It was a unique two years in the purple and gold for West after switching from both sides of the ball during his time in Death Valley.
During the 2023 season, he made the transition to defense where he felt comfortable moving forward. Despite a lack of playing time, West has found his position for the future.
“I like it. I’m used to it. I’ve been playing it almost all my life so it’s natural for me,” West said. “I’d say the transition learning plays and stuff though, it’s not too hard for me. I pretty much know the scheme, so I know my assignment every play.”
