_godchaux: After a lot of thought and prayer with my family, I have decided to enter the 2017 NFL draft. This was a very difficult decision, but I know in my heart this is the best choice for me and my son, Davon Montel Godchaux II. Anytime you leave your home and family it's difficult to do, but LSU will always be my family. There is nothing more exciting than to step on the football field and represent LSU. I will continue to do that in the NFL. I will forever be grateful to Coach Miles, Coach Orgeron, Coach Jenkins, Coach Aranda and Joe Alleva for giving me the opportunity to fulfill my dreams to play the game I truly love. Coach Orgeron has truly been an inspiration to me, and I appreciate and value everything I learned from him. I also want to thank my coaches, the athletic staff , and my professors who have helped me to grow on and off the field. I will surely miss my teammates, my brothers who have been by my side every step of the way. Remember, this is the beginning, not the end and I will also be there for you. Also I want the LSU alumni and the fans to know how much you mean to me. Every time I looked up into the stands and saw all of the LSU fighting Tigers and heard you cheering us on, it made me play that much harder. There are no fans greater than LSU's and no greater feeling than playing in Death Valley! I am blessed to have played for such a prestigious university. I will always be an LSU Tiger ! Go Tigers!!!

Good luck to DG. He came in wrecking shite as a freshman and gave us great play these last 3 years on a d line that was very thin. He'll be missed.

Thanks for being a Tiger Davon.

I am glad that he came in to provide a spark during the time that our D-line was the weakest in memory, but I think we will be more than fine with last year and this year's D-line recruits, especially if we can land Marvin Wilson. Good luck to the young man at the next level!

Damn sure hate to hear it but the man gave us more than his all for three seasons. Can't blame him for wanting to better himself. Thanks for everything Davon, glad you were a Tiger! Good luck in the league

After seeing Beckwith go down, I'm not surprised. Based on where he will go in the draft, he's making a sound decision. He certainly went out with a great game yesterday.

Nothing but the best, young man!

Dude played 4-3 DT, and NT and DE in a 3-4, and he thrived.

Probably best suited for DT in a 4-3 scheme but you've got to love his versatility.
