Kayshon Boutte Is Coming Back To LSU Next Season

by Staff Reporter

December 5, 2022127 Comments

John David Mercer-USA TODAY Sports

LSU wide receiver Kayshon Boutte announced Monday evening that he will return to the team in 2023 for his senior year.

Boutte entered this season as one of the top wide receivers prospects in the country but saw his NFL Draft stock dip after catching 48 passes for 538 yards and two touchdowns.

In his announcement, he made it clear that he believes in this LSU coaching staff and is locked in on winning a National Championship.

quote:
First off, I just want to thank God for the position he has put me in. Without Him, there would not be any opportunities. I would like to thank my family and friends for continuing to support me throughout my entire career both in high school and at LSU. I want to thank the fans for supporting me through the ups and downs of my career:

LSU has been nothing but amazing to me. My growth under the new staff has helped me to reach new levels. While we did not achieve the overall goal, we still fought and produced results that will be a stepping stone for future success. The goal is always to win a national championship at LSU and that will never change. We made strides this year but ultimately fell short. That is why believe we can accomplish many things moving forward

I believe in this team, coaches, strength staff, nutrition staff and training staff.

It is important to follow your deams and live with the results.

While some stories will end here, mine will not....

LET'S LOCK IN AND FOCUS ON THE MAIN GOAL OF ANY LSU TIGER:

WINNING A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

Smart man. Brian Kelly working. This is great for LSU. This is better for Boutte, his family and his future. This type of character gets in the first round. With the Average NFL career under 4 years, this is a great decision. I am so happy for him

tigersaint24•17 months

Gordon must have gotten it done

Tiger888999•17 months

The Nil deal also helps him and his family to stay for another year! That is one positive effect! Good for everyone!

Love the commitment. Curious to see what happens at QB, RB and how they’ll fill in the defense. Couple good breaks and we could be very good.

Great news! 2023 Geaux Tigers!

HO LY shite! All part of tALIGNMENT. Brian Kelly is able to convince these extremely talented players to give it an extra year. Boutte is day 2-3 draft pick.

Tell the Gumps that Gordon McKernan sends his regards.

All the kayshon haters can eat a fat dick. Pathetic to see how many people said he was a quitter all year and still talked shite about him as recent as Saturday. He is 100% aligned.

kcpizzle•17 months

100% aligned with hoping he can improve his draft stock after a shitty year.

LSU_Legz•17 months

Kc...yea, and?

Jabontik•17 months

Thats freaking huge news. First time in..... I was going to say 25 years but I can't remember the last time we had an NFL ready Jr come back for year 4. Could be absolutely massive for the team next year

More often than most, I side with the young men leaving for the NFL after their third year. However, I think Kayshon is making the right decision here. I think this season dropped KB into the mid second round at best, and he’s a WAY better talent than that. Coming back gives him the chance to improve his stock and earn that big money from the jump. Also, for as much as everybody hates on it, I think the NIL is working in our favor here. Previously, a kid with a new born daughter might need to head to the pros and get that money to provide his little girl. NIL means she’ll want for nothing while Kayshon finishes out his career at LSU.

The complete 180 that this young man has taken under the guidance of coach Kelly is my #1 reason for appreciating and respecting coach Kelly. He is a great coach. College coaches have to build men first along their way to building a program. KB7 is a better man for having met coach kelly

Wow, didn’t see this one coming. Kayshon saw his stock drop and wants to get it back up with a strong senior season and get his degree. Smart move to invest in your future.

Also, that’s one less WR BK needs to go after in the portal. It’s like getting an unexpected 5* transfer for next season.

fricking HUGE!!!!

All of your posts are either negative about lsu or about prepubescent kids. Pretty weird. Hope something bad didn’t happen to you in your past.

I was hard on Boutte this year but in retrospect, I think the following is true:

- even if he was 100% physically at the start of the year, I don’t think he was there mentally. He had a significant injury and it takes a bit to really come back and trust your body even if it’s healed.

- he had a lot going on off the field with a kid being born. That’s a huge impact on your life as a 30+ year old adult, let alone a college student trying to make a living playing football.

- he clearly progressed between the FSU and UGA games.

I’m really excited to see him in 2023. We all know what he’s capable of.

cheeto225•17 months

He could have just covered up and no kid

theBru•17 months

Awesome news! With 7 & 8 running routes, only good things can happen!

That's a great start to next year. Now let's get Roy and others on board.
