Ed Orgeron spoke publicly about Arden Key Tuesday for the first time since announcing the rising junior pass rusher was taking a leave of absence from the football team for “personal reasons.” Appearing as a guest on Tiger Rag Radio, Orgeron said, “We expect (Key) to be back. He left for personal reasons and that’s all we’re going to say.”
When asked if Key would participate in spring football, Orgeron would only say, “We made our comments about Arden so I don’t want to talk anything else about it.”
It is the first time Orgeron has said he expects Key to return, which should provide a major collective sigh of relief in Baton Rouge.
