It’s been reported that LSU offensive tackle La’el Collins is returning to Louisiana to speak with authorities about a murder of a pregnant woman. Collins was in Chicago this morning for the NFL draft, but ESPN has reported that Collins is heading back to Baton Rouge. Corporal Don Coppola says Collins is not a suspect in the murder of 29-year-old Brittney Mills, but the two had a previous relationship and Collins could provide information to help their investigation…

It’s been reported Collins and Mills were at one time romantically involved, but police could not confirm that information.

Multiple media outlets are reporting LSU defensive tackle Mickey Johnson, who didn’t play much in Baton Rouge, is transferring to Louisiana Tech and he will be able to play for the Bulldogs next season as he’s set to graduate in August. Johnson is a four-star recruit out of St. Paul’s High School in Covington.

LSU pitchers Alex Lange and Jesse Stallings have been named to the national pitcher of the year watch list. Lange is 7-0 with a 1.86 ERA this season. Stallings leads the SEC with 11 saves and has 1-1 record with a 2.10 ERA. The Tigers left today for a three game series against Mississippi State, which starts tomorrow night.
