Lance Heard tabbed second-year breakout star by CBS Sports

The worst-kept secret in college football came true during this season’s portal madness, with former LSU tackle Lance Heard transferring to Tennessee. Heard, a former five-star prospect, is set to take over at left tackle to begin his time in Knoxville as a sophomore.

Per On3 Sports, Heard was the second-ranked tackle in the class of 2023. He played 195 snaps for LSU last season, appearing in all 12 games. He’ll see that playing time bump up in a large way this fall.

Will Backus at CBS Sports thinks he’ll be a breakout star.
