LSU Top Running Back Out: "LSU running back John Emery Jr. is out for the year, listed as "unavailable" by head coach Ed Orgeron when he announced the news at his Monday press conference. Emery's status is tied to academics, sources confirmed with Geaux247. . . In 2021, Emery had yet to suit up for LSU, but in 2020 he registered 75 carries for 378 yards and three scores while adding 14 receptions for 73 yards. As a true freshman in 2019 on the National Championship team, Emery contributed 39 rushes for 188 yards and four touchdowns." What is it; grades or legal problems? I'm going with grades for now.

It's academics. Apparently he needed to take a class during the summer to get eligible, and somehow LSU let him take a class that didn't count towards regaining eligibility. It's embarrassing. Not as bad as getting drummed by Arkansas, but definitely a bad look.
