Kayshon Boutte Changes Course, Declares For The NFL Draft

LSU wide receiver Kayshon Boutte announced Wednesday night that he has changed his mind about returning to the team next season and will be declaring for the 2023 NFL Draft.

The news comes just hours after LSU announced that Boutte would not be available for the Citrus Bowl.

Boutte came to LSU as a five-star prospect from New Iberia, La., and had a breakout true freshman season in 2020, catching 45 passes for 735 yards and five touchdowns.

He played in six games last year and caught 38 passes for 509 yards and nine touchdowns before his sophomore season was cut short due to a season-ending injury.

Boutte entered his junior year as one of the top wide receivers prospects in the country but saw his NFL Draft stock dip after catching 48 passes for 538 yards and two touchdowns this past season.

He previously announced on Dec. 5 that he would be returning to the team for his senior season next year, but now he is off the pros. He ends his LSU career with 131 receptions for 1,782 yards and 16 touchdowns.

Worst No. 7 ever.

It's almost like some thought should go into these decisions or it needs to end

Giles kindly requests that you hold his beer.

Maybe not as bad as the punt return specialist from Texas Tech

Finally, the nonsense is over!!!!

Agree

Doby•40 months

Wish him luck. He seemed to be half way in all season, it’s the best decision for everyone that he moves on.

rob62•40 months

Agree. Good analysis.

pitchandcatch27•40 months

Good riddance...do not let the door hit you in the a$$. The WR is stacked. Sick of his pouting and giving up on routes in several games. See how long and NFL coach puts up with that. GEAUX TIGERS!

BoogahEatah•40 months

Slowly but surely the ED O debacle years players are leaving the program! Bye Felicia

rob62•40 months

Bingo!

Mindless Zombie•40 months

Good riddance..

LSUsince74•40 months

Yes, bye. That's is bullshite

porge7106•40 months

We are stacked anyway. Don’t need a drama queen anyway.

SophisticatedRedneck•40 months

This has "Baby Mama" written all over it, too much drama for a dude… I know you'll make more money than NIL, but for how long. Good luck!

jmaclsu•40 months

How will LSU ever replace all of that offensive production in 2023?

northgate5•40 months

Can’t wait for him to grab that 7th round payday.

MasonTiger•40 months

What a flake. Make a decision and stick to it.

eugene1928LSU•40 months

They have zero loyalty and their word means absolutely nothing. CFB is becoming ridiculous.

TigersOnTop4Ever•40 months

Interesting how immediately after playing with nuss and having his best game (of the year)he decides to stay. Then JD5 decides to stay 1 more year and now he's not so sure. But anyone paying attention could've seen he made the first choice too quick after a hard loss and that eventually he would opt to leave. Good luck tiger, thanks for not going to bama when you had the chance, and yeah he mightve ghosted a couple games but today's youngsters set the bar so low that we have to settle for "at least he isn't ARIK gilbert" idk man it's a different era. Wish him the best maybe he gets to show his true self in NFL Stanley environment

TigersOnTop4Ever•40 months

**stable environment

SulphursFinest•40 months

Nabers and BT11 didn’t seem to have trouble getting the ball

PureBlood•40 months

Lets pump the brakes on our top WR not having trouble finding the ball. He caught 2 TD's for 2022. JD5 is the problem here.

At least he waited until we lost Bech before changing his mind.

DeafVallyBatnR•40 months

I agree. Not exactly what I was going to post about him. But not in a mood to get banned.

Once a cancer, always a cancer. That's why you get rid of them

This boy is more drama than my wife

Strannix•40 months

This was happening the second JD announced

rob62•40 months

Yeah I’m sure Jaden Daniels was the deal breaker and his “Baby Momma” had nothing to do with it.

RightWingTiger•40 months

Anyone who believes its JD is ignorant. KB would have just waited for JD to announce b4 he would’ve made his descent/announcement.

cajunmud•40 months

Seems like he's probably had enough male figures/mentors/coaches in his life that have taught him that you don't act like THIS.

TNoon•40 months

Agree this generation of kids is the pits. Sad

cajunmud•40 months

Zero character...good riddance!

Monroelegend•40 months

Good move for all parties. His skills had regressed, was a moper with negative energy. This clears the path for guys like Nabers, BTJ, Hilton, Lacy who 100% want to be Tigers.

AugustaTiger•40 months

Best of luck but this is weak sauce. Should have done this before signing day and transfer portal period. Puts us at a disadvantage.

CanebreakCajun•40 months

I am relieved. He is talented, but he was a distraction. He moped and seem discontented so often. Let Malik, BTJ, Hilton and Lacy roll.

eugene1928LSU•40 months

He's all about him. Thats it
