LSU running back John Emery was ruled academically ineligible for the season

LSU running back John Emery has been ruled academically ineligible and will not play in 2021, Ed Orgeron confirmed Monday. The former five-star prospect was expected to have his breakout year in LSU’s new offense, but academic issues dating back to fall 2020 were not resolved by the end of summer classes. His appeal was denied last week, sources tell The Athletic.
