Donovan Kaufman announces his entry into the transfer portal.

The former Rummel star started early as a freshman at Vanderbilt, including a team-high 10 tackles and a 58-yard kickoff return against home-state LSU, before suffering a season-ending injury. https://twitter.com/sosakaufman/status/1384908664880967681">https://twitter.com/sosakaufm...

Should be a lot of intrigue for the promising young prospect with four years of eligibility remaining.

Quite possibly the most impressive season of Louisiana high school football I’ve seen by an individual in the last decade. I think certainly has to be in that convo. https://twitter.com/jeritroser/status/1384916269053448193">https://twitter.com/jeritrose...

LSU — who could use a safety (and he’s a dynamic one) — entered the mix for him late, to some degree.

But Kaufman had always been intrigued by the idea of leaving the state for college and had a long list of options to do so, including several SEC schools. https://twitter.com/jeritroser/status/1384917588266913796">https://twitter.com/jeritrose...

Took all of 21 minutes from Donovan’s posting before I received an enthusiastic text from a P5 coach from an out-of-state school about how much they’d love to have him.

Also, the relationship with Derek Mason was a huge piece of him sticking w/ Vandy. And now, Mason’s at Auburn. https://twitter.com/jeritroser/status/1384917588266913796">https://twitter.com/jeritrose...
