LSU RB John Emery Jr. Enters The Transfer Portal

by Staff Reporter

April 23, 202446 Comments

Maria Lysaker-USA TODAY Sports

Multiple sources report that LSU running back John Emery Jr. has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal.

The St. Rose, La. native was a highly recruited prospect out of Destrehan High School but dealt with many ups and downs during his five-year career at LSU.

He was a true freshman on the 2019 National Championship team but missed his junior season in 2021 due to eligibility issues. Most recently, Emery Jr. suffered a season-ending injury against Florida during his fifth-year senior year in 2023.

He played in 37 games over the last five years and rushed for a total of 1062 yards and 14 touchdowns.

Honestly - I didn't know John Emery was even still eligible.

chadr07•25 months

It’s been a wild 15 yr career at LSU for Emory

Geauxldninja•25 months

Didn’t realize he still had eligibility. He was always good for a couple splash plays a year, specifically in Bama games.

BabyTac•25 months

Best of luck. Guy has had a tough road. Hope things work out for him.

Spankum•25 months

He has a ton of potential, but every year something would keep him from breaking out. I wish him the best of luck wherever life takes him.

Thanks for being a Tiger, John Emery.

Mr Happy•25 months

Good luck John. I hope you have a great year.

secfballfan•25 months

Wishing him the best, had a lot of bad breaks

LSUPilot07•25 months

How does this guy still have eligibility?

Revorising•25 months

Dang I was so glad we were able to recruit him and it just did not pan out but I do wish him the best for sure.

ATLTiger•25 months

Most shocking part of this is that he’s a grad transfer. If true, happy the kid got his degree and best of luck to him.

Pollo10•25 months

What the hell are you talking about, there are many masters degrees that aren’t research based. I got 2 graduate degrees from LSU and knew many people who were getting masters without doing novel research.

Good luck to the young man!

saintlad74•25 months

I didn't realize he had eligibility left.

I thought he's going to try his chances in the draft

LSUfourLife•25 months

I love that he doesn't give up. Keeps coming back. He can be proud of that for sure.

Morpheus•25 months

Prolly for the best, he can get that Social Security now.

33inNC•25 months

Dude was absolutely electric at times. If he can clean up the mental errors and take what is there, he could be very good.

Best of luck to him!

Gorilla Ball•25 months

I honestly thought he was a senior

Akit1•25 months

His official visit: LSU/UGA…in 2018.

Locoguan0•25 months

Good for him being a "grad".

Jdublsu•25 months

Hope he draws NIL and his Social Security

boosiebadazz•25 months

Probably a solid number 2 behind Ryan Perilloux on the “what could have been” list at LSU.

The First Cut•25 months

Do you even Cecil Collins, bro?

genuineLSUtiger•25 months

Collins would be No 1 on that list. I never saw anything that impressive about Perriloux when he played.

Shiftyplus1•25 months

Perriloux in 2007 looked great every time he touched the ball spelling for Flynn. 51/75, 8 TDs, 2 Ints with 207 rushing yards and 2 TDs. Got his first start in the 2007 SEC Championship game when Flynn got hurt and looked more than solid considering the circumstances. He was going to be something special. Our offense was going to have a legit weapon at QB. Instead we got Jarrett Lee and Jordan Jefferson.
