Returning to LSU
Emery (knee) announced Friday that he will withdraw from the transfer portal and return to LSU for the 2024 season, Pete Nakos of On3.com reports.
ANALYSIS
After suffering a season-ending ACL tear in his right knee in November, Emery eschewed a move to the professional ranks and opted to pursue a sixth and final year of collegiate eligibility in 2024. Emery, a top recruit from the 2019 cycle, entered the transfer portal in April, but after assessing his options, he ultimately decided that sticking around in Baton Rouge was his best course of action. Given the timing of his ACL tear and surgery, Emery could face some limitations heading into training camp this summer, so his availability for LSU's Sept. 1 season opener versus USC is uncertain at the moment. When healthy, Emery will be part of an LSU backfield that returns Josh Williams and Kaleb Jackson from its 2023 roster.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2020
2019
Emery was deemed academically ineligible for the 2021 campaign, and ultimately never saw the field. Tyrion Davis-Price instead rushed for over 1,000 yards, but then decided to jump to the NFL. That leaves Emery as the likely starter when LSU begins the 2022 campaign. That being said, he will have some competition. Penn State transfer Noah Cain has entered the fold, while sophomores Corey Kiner and Armoni Goodwin also received opportunities as a freshman while Emery was shelved. Emery’s talent is difficult to ignore, but it has not yet translated to on-field success, and it is far from a foregone conclusion that he will end up as the lead back for the entire season.
