LSU defensive back Ashton Stamps announced on social media Monday that he will be entering the NCAA transfer portal.

Stamps, a junior from Harvey, La. (Rummel HS), started in all 13 games last season during his sophomore year and played in 11 games with four starts during his true freshman season in 2023.

Stamps has only appeared in three games this season and slipped down the depth chart behind sophomore PJ Woodland and true freshman DJ Pickett.

Former LSU head coach Brian Kelly said back in October that Stamps was no longer with the program.
quote:

First, I would like to thank God for blessing me with the opportunity to play the game that I love. I would also like to thank my family for always supporting me through my journey as an athlete.

As I enter a new chapter in my life, I am truly grateful for LSU and the coaching staff for the opportunity to be part of this program. From the relationships I've developed, to the memories made on and off the field, LSU has shaped me in ways I'll cherish forever. Thank you to my teammates, supporting staff, friends, and everyone who played a role in helping me become a better professional for the future endeavors in life. I'm grateful to have LSU be a part of me forever, and it will always be a place I'll call home.

However, I've decided to enter the transfer portal for my final years of eligibility. This decision wasn't easy, but I'm excited to experience something new, challenge myself, and continue to chase my dreams. I can't wait to see where this next chapter leads. Geaux Tigers!!!

Thanks,
Ashton Stamps

You guys are miserable. Every time someone hits the portal there's always that guy that has to throw the word processed out there. It's important for you to point out that LSU dumped him not the other way around. Like that's good for your ego or something. Then all the other negative comments about the young man. He played hard and he played well for the tigers his first two years, including being a starter. Don't remember hearing of any issues with him academically or off the field. He got passed up on the depth chart so he's going somewhere else to chase his dreams. Just thank the man for service and wish him well. That's what good human beings raised by other good human beings do.

I'm with you, brother. People default to being hateful on the internet. This place has that in the extreme.

They are miserable. We have a spoiled fanbase of which the likes of Alabama may be jealous of. LOL!

"We have a spoiled fanbase" So Brian Kelly was right.

I never understood how he went from our only lockdown CB to the bench in 2025? That’s insane.

Wow!! SInce when was Ashton Stamps a "lockdown CB". I found him better than Tyrone Hughes who is long gone but AT BEST he is a substitute SEC caliber CB...not a starter! If you really believe he is such a stud, why don't we see which "major" program he is signed by.

I wish him nothing but the best, but I always felt that he was a liability in coverage against some of the better WRs they faced. He would make a few great plays here and there, but more often than not, he was getting beat. He has the measurements to be a great CB. He just never developed into one. That's just my opinion from my own observations. Again, I wish him the best.

He's been gone for a while. He was just waiting for the portal to open. Too bad because we can always use a couple of backups to Pickett and Woodward

If Corey Raymond thinks you are the #4 or #5 corner that we have, and he sees every practice, your tape, know your commitment level, breaks down every rep, your attitude, etc., then I can't help but go with his decision. He has recruited and developed many into NFL corners. Thank you for your efforts and good luck at your next stop.

I don’t know what happened with Stamps, but he evidently got in the “doghouse” with someone. Even in the early non-conference games, when everybody got playing time, we didn’t get to see him on the field. It didn’t make sense to me that he wasn’t even the #2 guy after starting the entire season last year. I hope he gets treated well somewhere else.

First, he DID deserve to start last year because he was one of the best 2 CBs...which tells you something right there. This season, Delane from Va Tech, Woodland's improvement, and Pickett clearly had passed him. The way I remember Stamps is he was also right on his receiver but he never looked back for the ball...a common problem with many corners and he had that problem.

I guess he put a stamp on his career. If you're not interested in a Natty you have my blessing.

Honest question. Would you prefer to win a natty while sitting the bench or not win one while being a full-time starter somewhere else?
