The Louisiana Ragin Cajuns will apparently have to play the 2021 college football season without the services of a defensive player who has close to 20 career sacks to his credit.
Linebacker Joe Dillon reportedly has entered the NCAA s transfer portal recently as a grad transfer.
A senior in 2020, Dillon will have one year remaining as the NCAA granted all college football players one extra season of collegiate eligibility due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
Players who enter the NCAA transfer portal can take their respective names off at any time and elect to return to their respective schools.
The 6-foot-2, 220-pound Dillon appeared in nine games for Louisiana in 2020, compiling 25 tackles, including 1.5 tackles for a loss.
Elijah Mitchell has declared for the NFL Draft.
The former Erath High star and University of Louisiana all-conference running back announced his official decision on Twitter Sunday.
Mitchell posted the following: “From the small town of Erath, to the bright lights of Cajun Field, the outpouring of love and support from Ragin’ Cajuns fans everywhere has been nothing but elite over the past four years.”
Mitchell overcame early-career injury to earn second-team All-Sun Belt Conference honors twice (2018-19) and first-team honors this past season. Mitchell made sure to thank Ragin’ Cajuns coaches Billy Napier, Jabbar Juluke and Michael Desormeaux.
“I would not be where I am today without the support of my coaches,” Mitchell wrote. “I want to sincerely thank Coach Napier, Coach Juluke, Coach Des, and the rest of the coaches and staff for showing me what excellent leadership looks like and always guiding me. They helped me become a better person and a better player. Best
