LSU coach Ed Orgeron admits more players could opt out before season

The player losses for defending champion LSU may not be over.

Tigers coach Ed Orgeron acknowledged Tuesday that more players could decide to opt out due to health concerns related to COVID-19.

"There are a couple of guys that are thinking about it," Orgeron said. "And again, every one's for different reasons. Maybe family reasons, or maybe health reasons, or they may have something that they feel they need to opt out for. Hopefully, they don't. But again, if they do, that's what we're living in. But we have depth. And if they do opt out, we're still going to have a great football team.
