One of the top specialists remaining in the transfer portal is moving from Conference USA to the SEC for the 2024 college football season. Former Louisiana Tech punter Blake Ochsendorf announced his transfer to LSU on Monday.
All glory to God.
Many blessings to everyone who has led me to this point.

Ochsendorf averaged 45.72 yards per punt in 2023, with 20 kicks placed inside the 20-yard line and 50 punts that traveled 50 or more yards. His punting yardage average was the best in CUSA and 16th in the FBS.
2023 was Ochsendorf's only season playing in a game at LA Tech, but he still finished as the Bulldogs' all-time leader in career punting yards. He transferred to LA Tech from Minnesota State Moorhead in 2020. The Minnesota native has one year of eligibility remaining.

This will be Louisiana Tech's third season as head coach under Sonny Camby, who finished with a 3-9 record in each of his previous two seasons at the helm in Ruston.
LSU will enter its third season under head coach Brian Kelly in 2024 after winning 10 games in each of the previous seasons. The Tigers open the season on Sept. 1 in Las Vegas against USC.
