Update: Kayshon Boutte has declared for the NFL Draft.

LSU released a statement Wednesday that starting wide receiver Kayshon Boutte is unavailable for the Citrus Bowl vs. Purdue.

The release said that Boutte is enrolled in classes for the spring semester but did not provide any further details as to why he will not be playing in the bowl game.
quote:

ORLANDO – LSU wide receiver Kayshon Boutte is unavailable for the bowl game and will not play when the Tigers face Purdue on Monday in the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl, head coach Brian Kelly said.

Kelly said Boutte is enrolled at LSU for the spring semester.
Boutte announced back on December 5 that he would be returning to LSU for his senior season next year.

Boutte entered this season as one of the top wide receivers prospects in the country but saw his NFL Draft stock dip after catching 48 passes for 538 yards and two touchdowns.

I’m confused why he wears 7?

Was thinking the same thing. Have we had a player wear #7 for one season and have it revoked for the next??

I'd put money down that he won't be on the team next Fall. Either in the league or elsewhere, but not here. With JD as the heir apparent, he knows next year will be more of the same.

When did playing in a game that you're a team member of become optional - post-season or otherwise? I did not get that memo. Never thought that was even on the menu.

Please go to the draft. Sick of his little pitty party's. All about me. We have enough talent at WR. LSU will be fine. Do not need these wishy washy players. GEAUX TIGERS!
