Because Diarse has already graduated (in three years), he will be eligible to play for another FBS program in 2016 if he lands on a roster. He will be a graduate transfer, making him eligible to play immediately next season under NCAA transfer rules. TCU appears to be a potential landing spot, according to a report from The Times-Picayune. Diarse will bring two years of eligibility remaining with him.
Diarse appeared in 12 games for LSU this past season, in which he accounted for 13 receptions and 137 yards.
