Tiger football historians: how did Shyrone Carey’s career end?

Did he play his senior year? Doesn’t list stats for him on the 2005 lsusports.net roster. He was off to a great start in 2003, especially after his performance against UGA in Baton Rouge. He’s not talked about much as being someone who “could’ve been great” because the stable of backs behind him. I see he was hurt for a few games which sidelined him in ‘03, but he returned that season. He just didn’t play at all in 2005 or did he quit?

He originally signed with Tennessee and was part of arguably the best recruiting class of all time (2000) which featured five 5 star recruits and a TE by the name of Jason Witten.

Soooo am I old enough to be considered a historian if I know how Shyrone Carey’s career ended?
I swear he just played for LSU like 5 years ago right. Right guys? Right?

My memory of him is always thinking he contributed way more than he actually did. He made some big plays, but he had some really great backs ahead of him. Vincent, Addai, Hester, Green. He was always the third or fourth option.

He played 20yrs too early. They put weight on him at lsu. He was the best HS player I ever saw when he was lighter at Shaw

It really bothers me that this was all over 15 years ago.

Career ended with him being heavy and a step or two slow unfortunately. Untouchable in hs, we packed weight on him for whatever reason.

He played in 05, they just didn’t update his bio.

as a guy that ultimately didn’t have the speed we thought he had. shifty as hell, but probably not much more than a 4.6 40. If you’re 5’8” that’s a problem. we gushed over an 8 yard run where he semi shook one person the way we did when Booty threw some balls when he first showed up.
We pretended it was amazing because that’s what we had always hoped for even though it was mediocre.

Never was the same after he tried to sell his game tickets or whatever happened. Shyrone and Skyler are what made me a fan as a kid. My dad new their parents so we had to watch every game. Great times.

I’m not sure…
…and none of what I’m about to say matters… but I won Heisman trophy with him on old NCAA game back in the day. And I think Quinn Johnson broke a fullback TD record and Bennie Brazell won the Biletnekoff. Fun times

Hurt his knee playing defensive end.

Carey at Shaw...man. I remember I was in 8th grade and I went to the Salmen-Shaw game. Man he ran for like a million yards from the QB spot that night. Dude was dope.
