12/22/22 - *Jaquelin Roy, Jr/2023, LSU, 6-3, 297 (DS#11 DT) + More +

After emerging as a starter in his third season, junior defensive tackle Jaquelin Roy declared Tuesday for the 2023 NFL Draft. Roy became the fifth eligible LSU player to turn pro early, and now the Tigers have to find more options at a position without much proven depth. He did not clarify his status for the Citrus Bowl. Roy, a Baton Rouge native, had two more years of eligibility. He followed senior defensive back Jay Ward, junior edge rusher BJ Ojulari and senior wide receiver Jaray Jenkins in declaring for the draft. Junior defensive back Mekhi Garner is also headed for the league after accepting an invitation to a postseason showcase. A rotational player his first two years, Roy turned into a key piece of the defensive line this season. Starting all but one game, Roy recorded 49 tackles, 3 ½ tackles for loss, three quarterback hurries and one fumble recovery. - Lafayette Daily Advertiser

2022 ALL-MOUNTAIN WEST FOOTBALL SECOND TEAM: DB - A.J. Haulcy, Fr., New Mexico,...Haulcy, who led all true freshmen nationally in tackles (he finished the regular season second among all freshmen) was the lone position player to earn Second Team All-Conference. Haulcy, who recorded 24 tackles against Fresno State, the most by a player in an FBS game in four seasons, finished the year with 87 total tackles, 3.0 TFLs for 10 yards, two interceptions, three breakups, a hurry, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery.

His 24 tackles were the most by a Lobo since 2016, and the last time a player in the FBS recorded more than 24 tackles against a non-option team was in 2007. Haulcy, who only played eight plays on defense over the first two games of the season, was pressed into action in game three when Tavian Combs went down for the season. He intercepted a pass in that game and then on the third play of the second half, with UNM ahead 20-3, UTEP connected on what looked to be a 77-yard touchdown pass, but Haulcy sprinted downfield, and forced a fumble at the 1-yard line that hit the pylon for a touchback. He twice earned Mountain West Freshman of the Week honors. - New Mexico Football

12/09/22 - Jay Ward, rSr/2023, LSU, 6-1, 188 (DS#10 FS) + More +

Senior defensive back Jay Ward, a versatile and essential part of the LSU secondary the last few seasons, declared Wednesday for the 2023 NFL Draft. He told The Advocate he will still play in the Citrus Bowl. Ward carved out a backup role as a freshman on LSU's 2019 national championship team. He turned into a full-time starter the last two years after moving from cornerback to safety, but he handled multiple positions depending on where LSU needed him most. "My time in Baton Rouge has been special, but I have reached a point in my career where I have to make a decision about my future," Ward wrote in a social media post. "I will be pursuing a lifelong dream and declaring for the 2023 NFL Draft."

Ward, who signed as a three-star recruit from Moultrie, Georgia, had one more year of eligibility because of an NCAA extension given to athletes during the coronavirus pandemic. He accepted an invitation to play in the Senior Bowl. In four seasons, Ward started 22 games. He recorded 161 tackles, 17 pass breakups and six interceptions. His highlights included an acrobatic interception along the sideline in an upset win over Florida in 2020, a blocked field goal to preserve a win against Arkansas the same year and a fumble returned for a touchdown to help beat Auburn this fall. - Baton Rouge Advocate
