LSU’s already thin secondary has been without one of its major offseason additions in recent weeks.
Cornerback [autotag]Duce Chestnut[/autotag], a transfer pickup from Syracuse this past spring, is currently away from the team for undisclosed reasons and has not played since the Week 4 win over Arkansas.
Coach [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] has said multiple times that a decision on Chestnut’s future with the team would be made soon, but in his latest update on Thursday, he provided little new information other than saying that Chestnut is inactive but remains on scholarship.
“Duce is inactive,” Kelly said. “He is still on scholarship, he is still on the roster, but he’s inactive right now.”
Without Chestnut, LSU has leaned heavily on a pair of other transfers in [autotag]Zy Alexander[/autotag] and [autotag]Denver Harris[/autotag], which has represented the starting outside duo in recent weeks.
