LSU redshirt junior safety John Battle will return to the Tigers in 2018, using his fifth and final year of eligibility.

Battle was given the extra year by the NCAA back in July to make up for his freshman season in 2014 which was cut short due to an injury.

He started 12 games in 2017 for the Tigers, finishing with 61 tackles, one interception, four pass deflections, and half a sack.

Battle announced his decision to return next season with this video on Twitter:

Battle is a great leader. He is one of the ones that held the team together after the Troy debacle. Great to have him back!

dude gets grilled for telling the truth. HE was coming back because he wants the chance to show his skills so that the NFL will take notice.
