00:00 Lane Kiffin confirmed Cedric Johnson opting out for the Peach Bowl game.
00:04 Hello, my name is Skyler Girard of Fan Nation The Grove Report and here's your latest football news.
00:08 Now when the bowl games were first announced, Lane Kiffin said no one was going to opt out for the bowl game,
00:13 but now things have changed.
00:15 Cedric Johnson is going to be going to the NFL Draft after an amazing season with the Rebels.
00:19 Ed Rusher said Cedric Johnson will not be playing against number 10 Penn State in the bowl game
00:23 because he will be going to the NFL Draft.
00:25 Now the fourth year Rebels coach said he was very surprised by the announcement after having previous conversations with the players earlier in the week.
00:32 "I probably jinxed myself by saying that," Kiffin said Tuesday.
00:35 "I wish him the best of luck. We'll miss him.
00:38 He was really an important part of this team, but everyone has to make their own decision nowadays.
00:42 Kids think about things differently and so it is what it is.
00:45 But everyone else is here," Kiffin said.
00:47 The 2023 Chucky Mullens Courage Award recipient Johnson posted 40 tackles
00:52 with 6.5 tackles for loss, 5.5 sacks, and 12 quarterback hurries in 12 games this season.
00:59 He finished tied with Jared Ivey for the first team lead in sacks and pressures.
01:03 Johnson will be missed for the bowl game for sure.
01:05 Kickoff for Mercedes Bend Stadium will be scheduled for 11 a.m.
01:09 and the Rebels will look to clench their first 11-win season in program history.
