Kentucky offensive lineman Darrin Strey has signed with Lane Kiffin and the LSU Tigers after taking a visit to Baton Rouge over the weekend, he revealed via social media on Monday morning.

The 6-foot-7, 322-pound Michigan native signed with the Kentucky program as a Top-35 offensive tackle in the 2025 Recruiting Cycle over offers from the likes of the Arkansas Razorbacks, Illinois Fighting Illini, and Nebraska Cornhuskers, among several others.

LSU offensive line coach Eric Wolford joined Kiffin's staff in Baton Rouge last month after a stint in Lexington with the Wildcats where he now brings in one of his former recruits to join the program.

Strey checks in as a talented offensive tackle - and with the LSU Tigers eyeing reinforcements in the trenches - the Kentucky transfer has emerged as a critical addition.
