Looking into each LSU player who would have been at the 2021 NFL Combine

Eight former LSU players would have been at the 2021 NFL Combine if there had been one.

There won’t be an NFL Combine this year in the midst of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

But if there had been one, it would have included eight LSU players.

Without a combine, Pro Day means that much more for college football players across the country.

LSU’s Pro Day is scheduled for March 31 in the indoor practice facility. SEC Network, ESPN and NFL Network will be in attendance.

Here’s a look at the names of each player who would have appeared in the 2021 NFL Combine, along with their individual 2020 and career stat lines.

Could graduate transfer CB Darren Evans be heading to LSU?

The defending national champion LSU Tigers could be adding a veteran to the secondary soon.

The defending national champion LSU Tigers be adding a veteran to the secondary soon — or at least it’s totally plausible.

On Thursday, Nicholls State defensive back Darren Evans entered his name into the transfer portal with the hopes of playing his final collegiate season at the FBS level.

A Baton Rouge native, Evans quickly received a 247Sports Crystal Ball pick once he entered the transfer portal.

A 6-foot-3, 180-pound cornerback, Evans was an All-Southland Conference performer in 2018 and finished tied for fifth in the FCS with 15 pass breakups in 2019.

Evans would certainly bring plenty of experience to the Tigers having started 37 games at cornerback for Nicholls over the last three seasons.

With Kary Vincent Jr. deciding to opt out this season, LSU could use depth and experience in the secondary. Derek Stingley Jr. has one spot locked down but a host of young players will battle to start opposite of him.

Sophomore Cordale Flott and freshmen Eli Ricks and Dwight McGlothern all figure to see plenty of time at corner this fall. LSU has only one junior or senior at cornerback currently and that is senior Lloyd Cole.

Ricks may follow Stingley’s lead and start as a true freshman on the outside, while Flott is in line to start at the nickel.

If Evans chooses the Tigers, head coach Ed Orgeron will have more flexibility with his lineup this fall.

As a graduate transfer, Evans would be eligible immediately.

LSU DB Kary Vincent Jr. opts-out of 2020 season

LSU DB Kary Vincent will prepare for the NFL Draft rather than play for the Tigers in 2020.

LSU saw a slew of players head to the NFL after its national championship season. Now, the Bayou Bengals will be without a player anticipated to be an All-American and first-round pick in 2021.

Kary Vincent Jr. posted his farewell to the school Monday. He will prepare for the NFL Draft, a decision influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, no doubt.
