JUCO?

Not sure at this time. His release from LSU does stipulate that he cannot transfer to another SEC school, but he definitely could go the JUCO route to get around that.

Dad says he's transferring b/c of LSU's run heavy offense.

If he wants to go to an SEC school & be on scholly immediately he has to.

Receiver Tyron Johnson announced on Thursday that he’s transferring from LSU, and his father, Tyrone, said it's because of the Tigers' offense. 

"He wanted to go to a more wide open offense," Tyrone Johnson said in an interview with The Advocate on Thursday afternoon. "That was the only reason why."

LSU has blocked Tyron Johnson from transferring to another Southeastern Conference team, but the receiver could play at a junior college this fall and then re-enter the SEC, his father said. He is expected to make a decision on a school in "the next week," Tyrone said.

In a post on Twitter on Thursday, Johnson said he’s been granted his release and that he’ll “miss my brothers and playing in Death Valley.”

Johnson, a sophomore and the top-ranked prospect from Louisiana in the 2015 signing class, caught nine passes as a freshman last season and was expected to contend for the third or fourth receiver spot this season. He signed with LSU as a five star prospect by at least one outlet, Rivals.com, and ranked as high as the second-best receiver nationally.

Johnson, though, worked with the freshmen and reserves during the first three days of preseason camp, while other receivers – even a walk-on – worked in the morning group with starters and veterans. Coach Les Miles closed camp to reporters starting Sunday. The Tigers conducted their eighth day of camp Thursday.

Johnson, a Warren Easton product, caught a touchdown in the loss at Ole Miss last season, and he was competing in camp with a group of talented rookies – two of whom enrolled in January and participated in spring practice.

Freshmen Dee Anderson and Stephen Sullivan, mid-year enrollees, and Drake Davis are all challenging to be the Tigers’ No. 3/4 options behind starters Travin Dural and Malachi Dupre. Jazz Ferguson, a redshirt sophomore, served as the third receiver during spring practice.

Johnson is the third receiver to leave the team in the past eight months, joining John Diarse (TCU) and Trey Quinn (SMU).

Makes you wonder... if our wide receivers ball out this year and LSU continues to lose them and sees a decline in on field performance, Craig is going to be desperate to get a QB coaching job to save his career.  No one will make him an OC just because he's a good recruiter.

LSU basically sh*ts out NFL receivers. He'll be fine.
