The exodus continues from LSU as the number of underclassmen leaving for the NFL Draft now stands at seven.
Linemen Barkevious Mingo, Sam Montgomery and Bennie Logan will enter the 2013 NFL Draft, according to ESPN.
The 6-foot-5, 240-pound Mingo is a highly-rated defensive end — Scouts, Inc. lists him as the No. 6 overall draft prospect. Mingo has 15 career sacks for the Tigers.
Montgomery, another defensive end, is ranked by Scouts, Inc. as the 17th overall prospect. He leaves LSU with 19 career sacks.
ESPN draft guru Mel Kiper Jr. ranks Logan as the fifth best junior defensive tackle.
The three linemen join LSU teammates, safety Eric Reid, linebacker Kevin Minter, cornerback Tharold Simon and running back Spencer Ware who all have declared for the draft.
