LSU will be without its Heisman-winning quarterback when it faces Wisconsin in the ReliaQuest Bowl on Jan. 1 as [autotag]Jayden Daniels[/autotag] announced Monday that he will be opting out to prepare for the upcoming 2024 NFL draft.
The rest of the team, however, will remain intact. [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] said on Monday that he expects Daniels to be the only opt-out with the rest of the available players set to participate in the bowl game.
That means we’ll see at least one more LSU appearance from [autotag]Malik Nabers[/autotag] and [autotag]Brian Thomas Jr.[/autotag], with the former needing just 17 yards to set the program’s all-time receiving yards record.
