After announcing he was turning pro and torching every bridge on his way out, Russell Shepard has changed course and decided to stay at LSU.
Russell Shepard Reverses Course, Will Return To LSU
Remember when Russell Shepard announced he was leaving LSU earlier this week? It wasn’t a report or word from sources: Shepard himself announced, on Twitter, that he was leaving LSU and entering the 2012 NFL Draft. It was a puzzling move considering the circumstances, but Shepard’s string of tweets -- which felt like missiles directed at the Tigers’ coaching staff and quarterback -- seemed to explain it.
If you missed it, Shepard burned every bridge out of Baton Rogue on Wednesday. And yet, here we are: the bridges are repaired two days later and Shepard is back in the fold at LSU.
