Miami’s not the only that’s taken a one-two early entry punch today.
Cornerback Kevin Tolliver announced via Twitter Monday afternoon that, "[a]fter praying and talking with my family,” he had decided to leave LSU early for the draft. Nearly five hours later, teammate and offensive lineman Toby Weathersby tweeted his intentions to enter the April draft as well.
“Following my prayers to God I learned sometimes you have to know when one has to make big decisions,” Weathersby wrote. “I have deep faith in my beliefs and I do not believe He is leading me wrong in my decision.”

Weathersby started 15 games during his time with the Tigers, including 11 starts at right tackle this season, and played in a total of 31. Injuries helped limit the 6-6, 308-pound lineman to just three starts in 2016.
Weathersby and Toliver are the second and third LSU Tigers to declare for this year’s draft, joining defensive end Arden Key, who announced his decision late last week.
