LSU sacks leader Divinity no longer with team

LSU outside linebacker Michael Divinity has left the team for personal reasons, coach Ed Orgeron confirmed Monday.

Orgeron said he would not "close the door" on Divinity returning to the program later this season. LSU announced the senior's departure five days before the top-ranked Tigers' showdown with No. 2 Alabama.

A source told ESPN's Ed Aschoff that Divinity left the Tigers last week. He had five tackles and a sack in LSU's most recent game, a 23-20 win over Auburn on Oct. 26.

Despite missing three games already this season, Divinity leads the Tigers with three sacks. He is the second upperclassmen to leave LSU in recent days for personal reasons, joining junior defensive lineman Justin Thomas.

Divinity did not play in LSU's season opener against Georgia Southern or the Tigers' third game against Northwestern State because of what the team classified as coach's decisions.

He picked up an ankle injury against Vanderbilt on Sept. 21 and then did not play in the next game against Utah State after a bye week, before returning against Florida.

Divinity tied for the team lead in sacks in 2018, but he has played a reduced role this season because of the return of top edge pass-rusher K'Lavon Chaisson and the emergence of Jacob Phillips and Patrick Queen at inside linebacker spots.

Orgeron said LSU "should be fine" against Alabama because Chaisson takes the majority of snaps at the position Divinity also plays, and the coach expressed confidence in backups Andre Anthony and Ray Thornton.
