In the end, a former SEC football player will continue his collegiate playing career at a rung just below the FBS level.
Andy Dodd announced on his personal Twitter account Thursday that he has decided “to further my academic and football careers at McNeese State University.” The move comes six weeks after the offensive lineman used the same social media website to reveal his decision to transfer from LSU.

Dodd was a three-star member of the Tigers’ 2013 recruiting class, rated as the No. 17 guard in the country.
After taking a redshirt as a true freshman in 2013, the lineman played in eight games the next two seasons. He played in six games, with one start, in 2016.
