BATON ROUGE – Backup quarterback Lindsey Scott Jr. has opted to leave LSU and transfer to another program, head coach Ed Orgeron confirmed on Monday.

“I had a very good talk with Lindsey this morning and we talked about his future,” Orgeron said. “He is a great young man from a great family. We wish him all of the best in the future.”

Scott, a native of Zachary, redshirted last year as a true freshman.
