LSU defensive tackle Tyler Shelvin announced his decision to opt-out of the 2020 season back on August 31 but there have been some "rumblings" that he could be returning to the team.

On Tuesday, head coach Ed Orgeron said that he has not talked with Shelvin but has spoken with his parents about a possible return and said they would gladly welcome him back.

"We hear rumblings." Shelvin must be close then.

A healthy Shelvin would be the best news.

Is Harrison Valentine 14 years old?

Tyler needs to be putting in a ton of work to get that weight back down if he plans to go pro. Seems like playing football and utilizing the LSU nutrition center would be at the center of that effort.

ewilliams000•44 months

If he stays out, he'll weigh 425 lbs at NFL tryouts next year.

Tyler needs to do what’s hands down best for his NFL future. And that’s call Coach O and get back to work! Let’s Geaux!

TaderSalad•44 months

Out of all the opt outs... he made the least sense. He should stay. Let Moffit keep his arse in shape and add some impressive highlights to the reel. Go first 3 rounds, big fella!

Buckeye Jeaux•44 months

Probably missing the team and competition already. Hope he picks up his phone and calls Coach O. It will all blow over in a couple days after that.

Baby come back

If his aspirations are the NFL he should run back to the team. I don't see him having the discipline to do this on his own. He has a great chance to position himself into a 1st round pick if he utilizes the support he'll being part of the team. Come on big fella

Quote: “If his aspirations are the NFL he should RUN back to the team.” LITERALLY, all the way from Crowley. And back and forth a few extra reps.

Trevonte Valentine still have any eligibility?

GeauxGutsy•44 months

So now that opting out isn’t as cool as it was last week, players want to opt back in. Make them earn it Coach!

redfish99•44 months

As I said when it happened his path to riches runs through BR in 2020. He’ll never be heard from again if he stays out.

brewdrees•44 months

Step up the BUFFET at LSU and he'll come rumbling bumbling stumbling BACK.

oline5264•44 months

C’mon big man! If this happens, watch Chase opt back in. Back to back champs!

oline5264•44 months

Never mind. Just saw Chase declare for the draft.

luciouslou•44 months

Take him back, but make him earn it. I promise you Guillory and roy want to play, and they are in shape and ready to go

LSUfan00•44 months

Someone must've advised him on what all of us already knew. He needs to play or his football days are done.

AustinKnight•44 months

Obviously this is bleak comment but this is a huge life decision for him. If he decides to opt out and no play he will be 400 pounds and possibly be an unhealthy man the rest of his life. As he continues to learn health and awareness not only with LSU but with the NFL will ad many years to his life. I hope he comes back

I saw him at Laura's II today tearing up a huge plate lunch.

TommyDaTiger•44 months

Well he better get his arse enrolled in school ASAP. Remember he needs to be full time this semester baws.
