LSU WR Kayshon Boutte to enter NFL draft, skip bowl game

LSU star receiver Kayshon Boutte announced Wednesday night that he is entering the NFL draft.

Boutte will also not play for the Tigers against Purdue in the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl on Monday as he has opted out to prepare for the draft process.

Boutte's announcement on a verified social media account came hours after coach Brian Kelly announced that Boutte was enrolled for the spring semester despite deciding to skip the bowl game.

Kelly later confirmed that Boutte informed the Tigers he's leaving the team to turn pro.
