Maquedius Bain leaving LSU

LSU defensive lineman Maquedius Bain tweeted out on Monday that he is transferring out of LSU. Bain was one of three players arrested in June but the charges were dropped last week.

Bain, a sophomore from Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., tweeted “Thank you LSU for the wonderful 2 1/2 years I attend in school and on the field but I will no longer be a LSU TIGER.”

Bain played in 10 games in 2014 and posted six tackles after being suspended at the start of the season.

Bain was originally a defensive tackle but was moved to end during spring practice as the Tigers are apparently moving to a 3-4 base defense.

There is good news though in all of this. Defensive tackle Mickey Johnson has decided to stay put with the Tigers after missing spring practice. Johnson was reported to possibly consider transferring out of the program.
