After helping LSU reach the SEC title game in coach Brian Kelly’s first season, Tigers wide receiver Kayshon Boutte is moving on to the next level.
"After careful thoughts and consideration, I will be declaring for the 2023 NFL DRAFT," Boutte tweeted Wednesday evening.
Previously, in a tweet posted the evening of Dec. 5, Boutte had signaled his intent to return in 2023.
Confusion reigned Wednesday when Kelly announced Boutte would be unavailable for LSU's Citrus Bowl matchup against Purdue on Monday. At the time, Boutte was reportedly listed as being enrolled in the university for the spring semester.
