Orgeron told reporters Tuesday morning that true freshman Kayshon Boutte is all but officially the team's third receiver. "I think that's locked in," Orgeron said. LSU football takes 'full-speed' approach to preseason tackling in coronavirus era, Ed Orgeron says It was the last true position battle on offense. Myles Brennan has long been the projected quarterback; Orgeron is once again committed to a running-back-by-committee until someone emerges; the offensive line rotation has not wavered since Harvard grad transfer Liam Shanahan moved to center in the summer; and no one was expected to challenge five-star tight end Arik Gilbert, last year's high school Gatorade National Player of the Year. The depth chart seemed stable at the start of August.

Then, star wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase announced he was opting out of the 2020 season last week, and, suddenly, Boutte and a group of about five other receivers were pushing for a starting spot. In LSU's first practice without Chase, Orgeron said Boutte had his best performance. The day after, Orgeron mentioned unprovoked in his opening remarks that Boutte "had a great day." Speed, versatility and a history of explosive plays appear to have given Boutte the edge. He was a five-star prospect out of Westgate High, a 6-foot, 185-pound track sprinter who was the nation's No. 2 wide receiver of the 2020 recruiting class, according to 247Sports. - Baton Rouge Advocate

09/09/20 - Darren Evans, Sr/2022, LSU, 6-2, 179 (DS#58 CB) + More +

Former Nicholls State defensive back Darren Evans announced Tuesday evening that he has transferred to LSU. Starting nickel safety Kary Vincent announced in August he was opting out of the upcoming season, and, last week, LSU coach Ed Orgeron said he was looking to use the team's final scholarship spot of the 2020 recruiting cycle to boost depth in the defensive backfield. "We're looking for players right now, obviously," Orgeron said. "We have some needs...We're looking for a cornerback, and I think we're going to use it on a cornerback. It should be happening soon." Evans, a 6-foot-3, 180-pound Baton Rouge native, started in all 14 games at cornerback for Nicholls State in 2019, and he was named second team All-Southland Conference in 2018. Evans started at corner in 32 total games at Nicholls, and he recorded 100 tackles, four interceptions and 27 pass breakups in his three-year career in Thibodaux. "They say Home is where the heart is," Evans posted Tuesday afternoon on Twitter. - Baton Rouge Advocate

Chase's departure is the most recent blow in a difficult preseason camp for the Tigers. Since practice began Aug. 17, two starters have opted out, needed to monitor Hurricanes Marco and Laura, and, on Wednesday, all but four LSU offensive linemen were quarantined after they either tested positive for COVID-19 or were determined to have high-risk exposure. Meanwhile, while many conferences have postponed fall sports, six Football Bowl Subdivision leagues are moving forward with football this fall, including the SEC, which will play a 10-game, league only schedule. LSU is scheduled to open the 10-game season Sept. 26 at home against Mississippi State.

Now, projected starting quarterback Myles Brennan has lost his most dangerous target. Terrace Marshall, a 6-foot-3, 200-pound junior, becomes the team's top returning receiver. Marshall caught 46 passes for 671 yards and 13 touchdowns in 12 games, missing three because of a foot injury. LSU's offense has regularly used at least three wide receivers at a time, since the Tigers switched to a spread attack last season. LSU coach Ed Orgeron has often spoke of senior Racey McMath as the group's third option, and it's likely that the 6-foot-3, 224-pound New Orleans native will step into a bigger role. McMath caught 17 passes for 285 yards and three touchdowns last season, which includes a 60-yard reception. Orgeron has praised his speed and ability to make plays. - Baton Rouge Advocate

LSU defensive tackle Tyler Shelvin will opt out of the 2020 college football season, a source confirmed with The Advocate on Monday afternoon. Shelvin was expected to start at defensive tackle in new defensive coordinator Bo Pelini's 4-3 scheme, and the 6-foot-3, 346-pound junior is expected to be one of the top defensive linemen taken in the 2021 NFL draft. Shelvin is yet another key departure from LSU's roster, which, now only has five total returning starters from the lineup that won the College Football Playoff national championship in January. - The Advocate

08/25/20 - Aaron Moffitt, rSr/2022, LSU, 6-2, 232 (DS#999 FB) + More +

LSU has been hit with its first major injury of preseason camp. Reserve tight end Aaron Moffitt, a redshirt junior, has suffered a torn ACL, a source told The Advocate. It is the second time Moffitt has sustained the injury. He tore an ACL in October of 2018 in the week leading up to the Georgia game, and he returned in a special teams role in 2019, when he recorded two tackles. The 6-foot-2, 237-pound Catholic High graduate is the son of LSU head strength coach Tommy Moffitt. He signed in 2017 as a three-star defensive end, and moved to tight end during his freshman season. Moffitt tweeted a message Monday afternoon that hinted at his injury. "God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers," Moffitt wrote. - Baton Rouge Advocate

08/24/20 - Myles Brennan, rSr/2023, LSU, 6-3, 235 (DS#999 QB) + More +

LSU is the first defending national champion to start the following season outisde the top five since Auburn in 2011 (post-Cam Newton, the Tigers were ranked No. 23 in the preseason poll). LSU lost a Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback and No. 1 overall NFL draft pick, too, in Joe Burrow. Myles Brennan is the new QB for the Tigers, who had 14 players selected in the last draft, including five in the first round. There is plenty of talent coming back with All-America receiver Ja'Marr Chase, cornerback Derek Stingley Jr., and nose tackle Tyler Shelvin. The Tigers will try to become the first back-to-back national champions since Alabama in 2011 and '12. - AP College Football

08/20/20 - JaCoby Stevens, Sr/2021, LSU, 6-1, 212 (DS#13 OLB) + More +

The Southeastern Conference has launched a league-wide council dedicated to racial equity and social justice, the league announced Thursday. The council is made up of players, administrators, coaches and SEC staff. The council will include more than 60 athletes who are in the SEC's existing student-athlete engagement program, plus administrative leaders from each campus and head coaches from each sport. Dr. Dereck Rovaris, LSU's Vice Provost for Diversity and the school's Chief Diversity Officer, and volleyball head coach Fran Flory will represent LSU on the council.

LSU safety JaCoby Stevens initiated a player-led movement in early June for every football player to register to vote. Stevens said LSU coach Ed Orgeron has been actively supporting, addressing it in team meetings, sending out text messages making sure the players registered. "Right now, we're just kind of waiting for the time to vote," Stevens said Wednesday. "With Coach O, he's kind of taken charge of it and he really backed us on it." - Baton Rouge Advocate

LSU football had its second Heisman winner in school history last season in Joe Burrow, but another Tiger will be in contention to make it back-to-back years for the program. Burrow's presumed successor, Myles Brennan, currently has the third best betting odds to win college football's most prestige individual award, according to BetOnline.ag. Brennan's odds as of Thursday were 14/1, meaning a bet of $1 would net $14 in profit. Those odds falls behind Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence at 2/1 and Oklahoma quarterback Spencer Rattler at 9/1. Miami's D'Eriq King and Texas' Sam Ehlinger both have 14/1 odds. - Baton Rouge Advocate
