There is no one happier than the LSU faithful that [autotag]Kayshon Boutte[/autotag] is back for the 2022 season. Whether it is Jayden Daniels, Myles Brennan, or Garrett Nussmeier under center they will have a dynamic weapon on the outside.
Prior to the injury against the Kentucky Wildcats, Boutte was having a good season. He finished the campaign with 38 receptions for 509 yards and 9 touchdowns through six games. He proved to be better on the road than at Tiger Stadium in 2021.
Boutte was close to a 50/50 split as an outside and slot receiver. In 2022, it will likely be more on the outside with Malik Nabers spending a lot of time in the slot for Brian Kelly during fall camp.
As we inch closer to the kickoff of the LSU-Florida State matchup in New Orleans, LSU Wire takes another look at the next top WR to come from the Bayou. Kayshon Boutte is in line to make the jump to the NFL much like Ja’Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson, and others in recent years.
We break down Boutte’s situational stats from the six games he played in before the season-ending injury against Kentucky.
