LSU football adds Notre Dame transfer Junior Tuihalamaka after TRO
Summary

LSU football has reportedly secured a commitment from Junior Tuihalamaka, a former Notre Dame edge rusher, following the granting of a temporary restraining order that allows several athletes a fifth year of eligibility. Tuihalamaka, who recorded 12 tackles last season with the Fightin' Irish, joins LSU after being one of 16 plaintiffs in a recent legal petition. Coach Lane Kiffin has not commented on the implications of the TRO regarding player acquisitions. Tuihalamaka's addition aims to enhance the depth and experience of LSU's pass-rushing group, which has shown inconsistency during fall camp.
