After initially deciding to opt out of playing in the 2020 football season, senior defensive tackle Neil Farrell Jr. announced Monday he would be returning to the LSU football program.
Farrell opted out nearly six weeks ago due to COVID-19 concerns, especially in light of his grandmother battling the virus back in Farrell’s hometown of Mobile, Ala. Farrell tweeted on September 10th that his grandmother was getting better “each and every day” and ended that tweet with “I miss football.”
Now Farrell is back with the LSU program and gives LSU some much needed help along a depleted defensive line.
