LSU defensive tackle Tyler Shelvin opted out of the 2020 college football season back on Aug. 31, following Neil Farrell, Kary Vincent and Ja’Marr Chase.
However, since that time, Farrell has chosen to return to LSU for the upcoming season and rumors were swirling that Shelvin could also return to the Tigers.
On Thursday, Shelvin put those rumors to rest.
Its better late than never there was technical difficulties with the first on a while back!! Thank you💜💛🐯 pic.twitter.com/ZdsWeKJWm5

Shelvin, a 6-foot-3, 346-pound defensive tackle from Lafayette, La., was expected to be a major contributor for new defensive coordinator Bo Pelini’s defense this fall.
LSU head coach Ed Orgeron recently said he’d heard from Shelvin’s family about a return to the team and that he would welcome him back.
The Tigers are set to open the season on Saturday against Mississippi State.
