As a true freshman in 2007, Toliver started two of 14 games, finishing with 10 receptions for 249 yards and three touchdowns. After the season, he was named to the Southeastern Conference all-freshman team. As a sophomore in 2008 he started 2 of 13 games, making 22 receptions for 257 yards and a touchdown and emerging as LSU's No. 3 receiver.

In 2009, Toliver became a starter after Demetrius Byrd was drafted into the NFL. In the 2009 season opener against Washington, he caught four passes for 117 yards and two touchdowns. He finished the season with 53 catches for 735 yards. In the 2010 Capital One Bowl against Penn State, he had six catches for 81 yards.

Before the start of the 2010 season, Toliver broke his hand and was tasered by police in a fight outside a Tigerland bar. As a senior in 2010, Toliver returned from a hand injury to become LSU's lead receiver. He started all 13 games for LSU and finished the season with 41 receptions for 579 yards. Against Florida, he had six catches for 111 yards and two touchdowns and scored the winning touchdown with six seconds left in the game.

In his final game for LSU, he caught five passes for 112 yards and three touchdowns against Texas A&M in the 2011 Cotton Bowl Classic. He was selected as the most valuable offensive player in the game. He also tied a Cotton Bowl record with three touchdown catches. Commenting on returning to his home state of Texas to play in his final collegiate game, Tolliver said:

"I had a lot of family support here today. Playing in Jerry's World, the new Texas Stadium, just playing back at home, I always wanted to do this. Play a Texas school and come out with a victory."

Toliver was also selected to play for the East All-Star team in the 2011 East–West Shrine Game. Although he did not make a catch in the Shrine Game, ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay noted, "Terrence Toliver of LSU has had a big week. He's really showed he could be a playmaker and get down the field and catch the ball over his head."
