LSU junior defensive tackle Ed Alexander is declaring for the NFL Draft and foregoing his senior season. He will not play in the Fiesta Bowl against UCF on Jan. 1.

His mother, Stephanie Pool-Pryor, told NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune of Alexander’s decision Wednesday (Dec. 19), and Ed Orgeron confirmed his departure. 

Alexander made the SEC All-Freshman team in 2016, played in 10 games in 2017 but hardly saw the field the first half of the 2018 season due to a lingering knee injury. He worked closely with the strength staff and the nutrition staff to lower his body fat percentage. He became the full-time starter at nose tackle by LSU’s 36-16 win against Georgia on Oct. 13.
