On3’s Pete Nakos logged a prediction Thursday for LSU football to land safety Faheem Delane out of the transfer portal. He would be the third transfer defensive back to sign with LSU.
The brother of LSU safety Mansoor Delane, Faheem, played in 13 games for Ohio State as a true freshman in 2025, including the game against Indiana in the College Football Playoffs. He finished with 12 sacks and one tackle for loss on the season. Delane logged 81 defensive snaps for the Buckeyes.

Delane hails from Olney, MD, and played high school football at Good Counsel. As a four-star prospect in the 2025 signing class, he was No. 6 at his position and No. 2 out of the state of Maryland, per Rivals’ Industry Rankings.
As a transfer, Rivals gives Delane a four-star rating as the No. 10 safety in the portal. He brings three years of eligibility off a season in which he gained crucial game reps for one of the top teams in the country. LSU desperately needs to rebuild its defensive back room and Delane would be a great addition.
