Guice is expected to be a first-round draft pick in the upcoming draft. He rushed for 1,251 yards and 11 rushing touchdowns in 2017. He added 18 receptions, 124 yards, and two touchdowns through the air.

Guice finished his career with 471 rushes for 3074 yards and 29 rushing touchdowns. He set the LSU single-season yards-per-carry record in 2016 with 7.58 yards per carry.

He joins underclassmen Arden Key, Kevin Toliver, Toby Weathersby, and Donte Jackson who have announced they're leaving early for the NFL draft.

Anyone who thinks this has anything to do with coaches or otherwise is just insane. Derrius is a 1st rd. pick and as such will probably sign around the $20-25 million range, like Fournette. There’s no way he can pass that up. He’s earned it! Geaux get em, Guice! Super fun to watch and we’ll follow you in the pros! Thanks for being a Tiger!

He has earned every penny he is about to make. Both in College and before. Happy for him. I have a feeling he is going to represent LSU very well for a long time.

Thanks for being a Tiger. He is no doubt making the right financial decision. I do hope he comes back in the off season to get that degree. It is definitely worth it and something he will be grateful he completed.

You da man Guice.... thanks for leaving it all out there! Be looking forward to watching you on sundays!

ImayGoLesMiles•100 months

You can't blame him. He is going to be a high draft pick. In a year where there aren't many standout runningbacks in the draft. He made the right choice. Good luck to him, and thanks to him for all he has done for LSU.

ImayGoLesMiles•100 months

He will be drafted before both Sony Michel and nick chubb guaranteed. He is a better back than both of them and, therefore, should be drafted higher. Good luck DG, I know you will he a great ambassador for LSU and represent this state and our football program in the nfl. I just hope he lands at good franchise.

If any franchise takes Chubbs or Shelby over Guice, they be kicking,themselves

Geaux Guice! He is making the right decision. You can tell a part of him wishes he didn't have to make it and that he could stay for another year. He has proven himself, now is the time.

Geaux Bears and Geaux Tigers! Will always be one of my favorites! Get paid DhaSickest!

Azkiger•100 months

Smart move, as much as I would have loved to see you represent LSU another year the RB position is a rough one. No use taking that abuse for another year for free, get your money while you're young and can take the hits. Best of luck to you. You're a top 3 Tiger in my books and I'll never forget the intensity you always played with. Looking forward to seeing you dominate on Sundays!
