Sources close to LSU say Valentine failed multiple drug tests and missed an excessive amount of class time after enrolling last fall. He was a highly touted defensive tackle recruit from the Miami area but reported late because of a academic issues. He practiced with the team after reporting but did not participate in spring practice.
Valentine is expected to transfer to Arizona Western where former LSU linebacker Clifton Garrett and defensive tackle Trey Lealaimatafao recently transferred to this off-season.

Chavis and Brick really did a number on the depth chart the last few years. They didn't bring in enough players and the one's the did get couldn't hack it.

Shame, needed him for depth on the DL.

At least this ends the wondering about him playing though.
