  12/11/20 - TE Arik GilbertrSr/2025, Transfer

  Star LSU tight end Arik Gilbert has officially opted out of the rest of the season, Tigers coach Ed Orgeron said. Orgeron told reporters in Wednesday's weekly Southeastern Conference teleconference that Gilbert met with him yesterday and told him that he intends to opt out of the rest of the season. "Arik and I had a good conversation yesterday. He told me his was opting out. He said his body was hurting and he had some things he had to take care of." Orgeron said Gilbert did not tell him if he planned on returning to the team next season, but the head coach said he will pursue keeping the true freshman on the team.

"Do I think we have a chance at getting him back next season? Yeah," Orgeron said. "Is there a chance of him transferring? I don't know that. He hasn't told me he's transferring, but obviously we're going to re-recruit him and obviously we wish him the best. Take care of the the things he needs to take care of and be back with us next year." Multiple sources confirmed Gilbert missed practice Monday, and 247Sports first reported Gilbert is "really, really homesick." His role in the offense is also a factor, sources said. Orgeron also said that Gilbert's "body is hurting," Gilbert is a substantial loss for LSU and its future within the offense. The 6-foot-5, 249-pound freshman was the prize recruit of the 2020 class, the nation's Gatorade Player of the Year and the highest-rated tight end in the history of 247Sports. - Baton Rouge Advocate
