He didn’t play but this one stings. Would have been deadly with Kiffin

He's replaceable.

Ehhh, think he’s just moving to the front of the NIL line. That’s all.

I always assumed he just wanted to focus on track.

No one thought to run a jet sweep with that guy?

Huge blow to the Track & Field program.

I wish he could hang around 1 more year and see how it goes with the new offense.

He's not automatically gone by entering the portal, we'll see what happens.

Not even a little.

The guy we hired will have kids lined up wanting to play for him on offense.

I'd love to see how Kiffin could use him. He's always done well with speedsters putting them in different positions. Wish him all the luck / health.

That's a damn shame. Fastest guy on the roster wasn't used. That sucks

He could have a legit pro track career right? I guess A&M would be an option, and a couple others with both good football and track programs.

Hopefully he just wants a bigger bag. I think Kiffin could do a lot with his world class speed. We're losing a lot in the WR room this year.

He was the second receiver (after Green) that I thought about as benefiting from Kiffin.

Hoping it's just a ploy for mote NIL money.

The offensive scheme and plays called were curious with all the speed players LSU had this year.
