This time last year LSU was stacked at the wide receiver and tight end position. The Tigers were blessed with Ja’Marr Chase, the reigning Bilentikoff award winner and arguably best receiver in program history, Terrace Marshall, who may very well be a first round pick, and mega-recruit Arik Gilbert, the highest rated tight end in the history of 247 sports.
None of those three finished the 2020 season in purple and gold. Chase opted out prior to the season; Gilbert opted out after the Alabama game and has since transferred (twice now after leaving Florida); and Terrace Marshall called it a career after the Texas A&M game, though fittingly the last ball he caught as a Tiger was a touchdown.
