Defensive lineman Maquedius Bain announces on twitter that he’s left the LSU football program. Bain was one of three LSU Tigers who were recently reinstated to the football team after charges related to an alleged break-in were dropped. The four-star recruit from Florida was expected to compete for playing time at defensive end. Bain is the third defensive lineman to leave LSU this offseason.

While Bain is leaving, defensive tackle Mickey Johnson is returning to LSU. Johnson announced in the spring that he was leaving for Louisiana Tech, but Bain’s departure may have opened up a scholarship for Johnson, who has only six tackles in his LSU career.

One of football’s top recruits for 2017 has decided to de-commit from LSU.
