Tyrann Mathieu Wants to Stay at LSU and Play in the 2013 Season, But Can He? [UPDATE: No, He Can't]
By Jason McIntyre
Friday, Les Miles said Mathieu was off the team “permanently.” The school declined to say exactly why, other than Mathieu was booted for a violation of team and school rules. Many suspected it was a 3rd failed drug test. So if Miles said Mathieu was off the team permanently, why are his people floating the idea to ESPN’s Joe Schad that he could re-join the team after sitting out a year? Glenn Guilbeau, a beat writer for the team, suspects that Mathieu doesn’t understand the school’s substance abuse policy.
Unless, of course, Honey Badger’s dismissal was for a reason other than substance abuse …
[UPDATE: LSU has announced that that no, the Honey Badger cannot play another down with the LSU. He’s done.]
