LSU veteran running back John Emery Jr. is reportedly pursuing a seventh year of college eligibility after sustaining a season-ending injury in the opener last year.

On Thursday, Emery Jr. and his representation announced on social media that he will return in 2025 for his final season.

According to Wilson Alexander of the Advocate, Emery Jr. is “early in the process” and has not decided where he will play.


Here's was Emery Jr. announcement in on Instagram:
quote:

“One last ride! @johne4_ is returning to college football for his final season. Can’t wait to see him leave it all on the field. Let’s get it,” the post read. “Contact @ypmsports for all NIL inquiries”

I’ve played pickup with John at the UREC a bunch of times. Felt like Joe Burrow when I hit him for a full court pass. He’s the nicest and most humble guy. He’ll be successful in whatever he does.

I have seen a direct correlation of athlete attitude at the UREC and success. HB, Addai, Garrett Temple, Ricky Jean-Francios, etc. we're nice and humble. JaMarcus, Tyrus, Sam Montgomery, etc. we're not.

The last player remaining from the 2019 GOAT team. He wants to return to the White House!

Good for him. Hopefully it works out that he can come back to LSU. His story should be a inspiration to other players. No matter how many set backs you have no matter if they are self inflicted or any other reason if you work hard and don't quit you can succeed.

Glad to hear this. I wish him luck and total success wherever he goes. I sure hope it’s LSU!

I really want him back, but I suspect he might be better off taking a deal at a smaller program to be the surefire #1 guy. Wish him well wherever he goes—he poured it out for the good guys and no one has a bad thing to say about him.

Good for him. Has always been a nice, good , quiet kid
Was never rude or arrogant even though he was a 5 star whose career never matched up.

Does he have to take classes? That always seemed to be his downfall… like the missing apostrophe in his announcement.

He graduated in May, I think. The announcement was made by his NIL agent, not him. So the apostrophe gaff is on them. But grammar seems to be a lost cause nowadays. Just look at the social media posts of any TV or newspaper, it will be riddled with grammatical errors.
