Baton Rouge, La. - After a junior campaign that saw LSU linebacker Kevin Minter rack up 130 tackles and be named first team All-SEC, he is going to enter the NFL draft.

LSU announced the decision and Minter tweeted, "S/o[shout out] to #tigernation for all the love and support throughout the years, it's truly been an honor to put on the #purpleandgold....#foreverlsu"

Minter had 19 tackles in his last game as a Tiger against Clemson. His 130 takedowns on the year are fourth most in school history.
