It seems that LSU stud running back Jeremy Hill has had a change of heart.
Hill reportedly said he was staying in school, in part to repay the loyalty that Les Miles showed to him earlier this season when Hill was suspended for a bar fight.
Hill took to Twitter this morning to reveal that he’s changed his mind, and will now enter the 2014 NFL Draft.
I am a Tiger for life. I will forever be grateful to my LSU fans, friends, coaches and family. This decision has been very difficult for me.

With all of that being said, I have decided to forego my Junior season and enter the 2014 NFL Draft. #GeauxTigers #33ToTheNFL #Blessed

Les Miles and the Tigers snagged the best running back product out of high school since Adrian Peterson in Leonard Fournette, so that may have allowed Hill to feel good about his choice.
Hill has rushed for 2,156 yards and 28 touchdowns over the past two seasons, and has the combination of speed and power that scouts love.
