LSU cornerback Kevin Toliver says he is leaving school early for 2018 NFL Draft

LSU cornerback Kevin Toliver will leave school early for the 2018 NFL Draft.

He made the announcement in a social media message posted Monday.

He is the second LSU player to announce his plan to leave school with one year of playing eligibility remaining. The other was outside linebacker Arden Key.

The move is hardly a surprise. Coach Ed Orgeron has said LSU recruited during the season as though the Tigers would lose two starting cornerbacks to the NFL, with projected high-round pick Donte Jackson being the other.

Returning for LSU in 2018 will be Greedy Williams, who earned several freshman All-America honors during 2017.
