LSU made its way down to Tampa on Tuesday for a New Year’s Day matchup against Wisconsin in the ReliaQuest Bowl, but it will be without a key reserve on its offensive line.
Offensive tackle Lance Heard did not make the trip, according to On3’s Shea Dixon. The reasoning behind it is unclear, especially as coach Brian Kelly said he expected everyone from the final week of the regular season to be available aside from quarterback Jayden Daniels, who opted out of the game.
A former five-star recruit from Monroe, Heard appeared in all 12 games this season, notching one start at right tackle against Army.
Heard is a promising talent and was expected to compete for a starting role, so if this is a sign he intends to enter the transfer portal, it would be a major loss for LSU.
