Published:
The LSU offensive line has already lost Troy Weathersby and Will Clapp to the NFL Draft early, so the Tigers were in need of some good news.
On Monday evening, they got it, just ahead of the deadline for juniors to declare for the draft.
Not only did OL Garrett Brumfield announce his return to Baton Rouge, as you can see below, but a defender did as well:

The other player was DB John Battle IV, who will also return for his senior year:

With six players leaving early, the Tigers have their most early entrants in the NFL Draft since 2014, when they had seven:

With so many players leaving early, it was good for coach Ed Orgeron and the Tigers to get some better news late on Monday evening.
