LSU's Bryce Jordan Forgoes Final Baseball Season

Jordan cited issues caused by a serious knee injury he suffered in 2017 preseason practice as the primary factor in his decision. He will remain enrolled at LSU and continue to pursue a degree in marketing.

“Bryce’s knee wasn’t progressing as well as he had hoped it would, and he was not able to play at the level to which he was accustomed,” said LSU coach Paul Mainieri. “He made a decision that was in best interests, and we fully support Bryce as he steps away from a game he loves very much.”

“LSU has provided the best years of my life,” Jordan said. “Having to walk away from something that I love and something that I’ve done my whole life is unspeakable. My family and I have thought strongly about my career and what is best for my future. I want to thank every coach on the staff and (LSU athletic trainer) Cory Couture, who has been with me through everything and has gone beyond the call of duty.
