Chase is seamlessly the biggest star to retire from the 2020 season.He broke into school football last year, recording 84 receptions for 1,780 yards and 20 touchdowns, his yards received and touchdowns setting SEC records.

Miller wrote in May that Chase “can dominate at the catch point and fold with special speed, strength and frame control,” adding that he is “among the top naturally gifted receivers to play school football in recent years. My first idea looking at his game was ‘Julio Jones,’ because he hits in front of defensive backs but he’s also incredibly physical on his court and after the catch. “
As for LSU, players like Terrace Marshall Jr. and Racey McMath will have to interfere in Chase’s absence.LSU’s defensive final, Neil Farrell Jr., corner corner Kary Vincent also withdrew from the previous 2020 crusade in the off-season.
