LSU freshman wide receiver Tyron Johnson (3) scores a touchdown during the Tigers’ 48- 20 victory against Western Kentucky on Saturday, Oct. 24, 2015 in Tiger Stadium.
Two weeks into camp, LSU sophomore wide receiver Tyron Johnson announced via twitter that he is transferring.
Johnson, who was rated as the No. 1 wide receiver coming out high school in 2015, played in nine games last season and caught nine passes for 150 yards and two touchdowns.
The 6-foot-1, 189 pound wide out spent the first few practices with the freshman and select veteran squads in the afternoon.
Johnson, a New Orleans native, said LSU has already granted him his release.
