LSU lost another impact defensive player on Monday as cornerback Kary Vincent elected to opt out of the 2020 season, amidst ongoing concerns related to COVID-19.
Vincent's decision follows defensive veteran DT Neil Farrell's announcement that he was opting out of the 2020 season, citing concerns with the virus, which were compounded by his grandmother's hospitalization from the disease.
The Tigers may be faced with other announcements of the sort, with multiple impact players appearing to be mulling over the situation. The circumstances vary, but the common theme seems to be the lack of confidence a season will happen at all, along with some concerns about the virus itself, and the potential of long-term issues that could result from exposure.
These conversations are ongoing around the country, with sources at multiple SEC programs sharing concerns regarding their players potentially opting out in the coming days. It is starting to feel like this will be a sweeping trend across the country in the coming week.
As for LSU, we believe this may not be the end of it, and that may be putting it lightly. We will keep you updated.
