The 6-foot-8, 210 pounder started eight games as a true freshman during the 2020-21 season. In 23 games, Eason averaged 7.3 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.2 steals in 19.5 minutes per outing.

Eason, a physical and athletic post player out of Seattle, was previously offered by numerous Power 5 programs.

LSU adds Eason to Missouri transfer guard Xavier Pinson as head coach Will Wade rebuilds his roster after four starters recently declared for the NBA Draft.
