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.

Dudes such a clown..

Anyone who assumes that we would not have won the west without JD5 is foolish. Would most likely have the same record with Nuss playing an entire season and I would go as far to say as we may have beaten FSU & ATM

Hopefully he talked with NFL scouts and not just an agent. Best of luck and his performance can be replaced.

Sounds like he ran into some NCAA trouble that made his eligibility a question for the fall so he decided to go ahead and declare.

Can we stop with handing out 7 & 18? Lots of heartbreak lately

Good luck young man

If he had gone to Bama, I bet he'd be playing in the Sugar Bowl.

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

**stable environment

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

PureBlood•16 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.

Third round pick.

cd99tiger•16 months

At best.

Koplan16•16 months

It’s the best for him and LSU, his heart wasn’t in this year and no need to chance injury

rob62•16 months

He’s soft man.

Last week: “true tigah! Go tigahs!”

This week: “frick that loser. We never wanted him anyway.”

Last I am all about LSU! DIS week it be all about me!

rob62•16 months

Imagine people reacting to what Boutte says and being positive or negative based on his statements which change daily. Boutte is simply a malcontent and needs to go. 3rd round or lower.

Did you expect anything different from tRant? Lol
