BATON ROUGE - Myles Brennan, who was once poised to take over the Tigers' offense after Joe Burrow's departure to the NFL, is now planning to leave LSU.

Coach Ed Orgeron confirmed Monday that Brennan, who's missed the entirety of the 2021 season so far with an injury to his left arm, plans to enter the transfer portal. It wasn't immediately clear where his next landing spot might be.

Brennan was groomed to be the starter heading into the fall. But his season was cut short before it even began when he broke his left arm at a fishing camp just weeks before the Tigers opened the regular season.
