That TD run in the BAMA game was wonderful. Good Luck John.

Has there ever been a father son tandom on a college team?

I get it…he had high expectations and his career didn’t pan out like he wanted. At some point you have to let the dream go though. Now my hope is that he simply wants to make it through a full season before riding off into the sunset. That’s way more realistic than trying to be a starter ahead of younger guys with no injury history and trying to make it to the NFL, where he would’ve been peaking at his age.

I don't know if my heart can take it if he gets hurt again next year. The guy is relentless.

Never say die...should help him in his life

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

If 7 years isn’t the record, it has got to be pretty close to it. Let’s Geaux!

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.

Once a Tiger always and LSU Tiger! Come back to the boot and finish the job. GEAUX TIGERS!

So you give up on your dreams? Why should he?

Make that NIL money baby!

lsuoilengr•30 days

Always been a big fan of his. My hope is he comes back and puts up enough yards to win the heisman - you never know!

LSUbacchus81•30 days

Why?

lsuoilengr•30 days

Why not? Not saying it’s gonna happen but if it did it would be amazing

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.

Chalkywhite84•30 days

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.

Hope you stay an LSU Tiger Mr. Emery!! Leadership matters

He struggled academically, but grew up and got his BA. Good for him.

The dream will not die.

Kid just loves to learn

Lol

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

mdomingue•30 days

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.
