Football: LSU Football: Tigers Get Commitment From Valuable Punter Through NCAA Transfer Portal: Through the portal,

LSU adds former Louisiana Tech punter Blake Ochsendorf to their meager offseason haul.

In order to create position fights this summer, Brian Kelly and the LSU football staff were hoping to acquire another player on special teams over the offseason.

The program zeroed down on Louisiana Tech punter Blake Ochsendorf after assessing a couple transfers.

Following his family’s visit to Baton Rouge, the former Bulldog is now on his way to Death Valley after declaring his commitment to LSU on Monday.

In his first season in Ruston, Ochsendorf was named to the First Team All-Conference USA.

The special teams talent made an immediate impact during his lone season with the Bulldogs in 2023; leading Conference USA and ranking 15th nationally with a 45.72 yard punting average.

In conference games, Ochsendorf pieced together a 48.09 yard punting average, which ranked third in the country.

Ochsendorf, a Minnesota native, had 17 punts of 50+ yards during the 2023 season for Louisiana Tech, while 18 were downed inside the 20-yard line.

It was a historic season in 2023. He ended the year as the all-time leader in career punting average at Louisiana Tech at 45.72 (minimum of 50 punts), per Louisiana Tech Athletic Communications.
