LSU football is now without one of its top players after Terrace Marshall Jr. officially announced he was opting out of the remainder of the 2020 college football season.
The announcement came just one day after LSU’s 20-7 fall to the Texas A&M Aggies on the road, and ahead of the Tigers’ upcoming matchup against the top-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide.
“First of many words, I thank God for all the blessings that he has allowed to come my way because without him I wouldn’t be in this position,” he wrote. “I am blessed to have a platform to display God’s work and show the world that in all things we must give thanks. As I reflect on the past, every trial and tribulation I have faced has made me who I am today. I strive to be the best every day and I won’t let up until my destiny is fulfilled.”
Before opting out, Marshall was a favorite target of LSU quarterbacks this season, recording 48 receptions for 731 yards with 10 touchdowns this season.
