Brandon LaFell Decides To Stay With The Tigers
Starting receiver Brandon LaFell declared for the NFL draft on Friday.
But every underclassmen has a 72 hour period after they declare to
change their mind. LaFell waited until the last minute to change his
mind and come back for one more season with the Tigers.
"We
are extremely excited to have Brandon returning to the LSU football
team for his senior season," head coach Les Miles said on Sunday. "We
were going to support him no matter what decision he made."
Brandon
LaFell had one of the best season's in LSU history last year by racking
up 63 receptions, 929 receiving yards, and 8 touchdowns. One of his
more impressive performances when he accumulated for 12 receptions, 129
yards, and 1 touchdown in LSU's 28 point comeback v.s. Troy State.
"The
news of Brandon coming back to school is big for our football team. His
contributions to our football program have been very significant and
I'm glad we are going to get another year with him," said head coach
Les Miles.
When it's all said and done, Brandon LaFell will be
one of the best receivers LSU has ever had. Brandon has a ligament shot
at breaking numerous receiving records at LSU. He will be a HUGE help
to the Tigers next season, and it looks to me that he came back for the
same reason Glenn Dorsey did; to win a national title.
