LSU defensive lineman Breiden Fehoko announced his return to the Tigers for his senior season, he posted on Twitter on Monday night. The former Texas Tech transfer was injured in the Alabama game and missed the rest of the season due to bicep surgery.

"Thankful for coaches and mentors like @Coach_EdOrgeron. He’s leading this program in the right direction & I wanna be here for every minute of it," Fehoko wrote in the tweet. "Can’t wait to have this man & the rest of LSU behind me for my senior season! P.S @Rashard_99 we got unfinished business. #ForeverLSU"

Head coach Ed Orgeron announced the injury after the team's win over Rice earlier in the season. LSU finished 10-3 on the year and capped the season with a Fiesta Bowl win over previously undefeated UCF.

"Fehoko will not be with us the rest of the season. He's out," Orgeron told reporters after the Rice game. "The young guys were fired up to get in there to play. It was fun to see their eyes before they went in. There was some big eyes going on that field. But I thought they played well. I was proud of all our guys."

At the 2018 LSU Awards Banquet, Fehoko was one of the recipients of the Butch Duhe Award, awarded for the player whose character and contributions to the LSU Football team most personify the idea of unselfishness, dependability and commitment to the team.

After redshirting in 2017 after transferring to LSU from Texas Tech, Fehoko notched 16 tackles and 1.5 sacks as a starter at both nose tackle and defensive end.

In 2015 at Texas Tech for his true freshman season, Fehoko started at defensive tackle in all 13 games of his freshman season. He compiled four tackles for loss, a sack and an interception. Fehoko followed that up with starting in all 12 games of his sophomore season, finishing with 19 tackles (10 solo), including 3.5 for a loss and a sack. He led the team with five quarterback hurries.

247Sports recruiting analyst Greg Biggins evaluated Fehoko when he was the No. 8 overall defensive tackle in the country, according to the 247Sports Composite.

"Fehoko has three older brothers who played Div I ball and he's the best in the group. At 6-2, 290 pounds, Fehoko moves all over the defensive line but we like him as an inside guy down the line. He relies on an incredibly quick first step to get up the field, plays with great flexibility and shows high level closing speed for a player his size. Add in superior strength and a great motor and you can see why he's such a talented prospect."
