LSU defensive tackle Sydir Mitchell is no longer a member of the team, head coach Brian Kelly confirmed Wednesday.
While speaking on the Southeastern Conference Coaches teleconference, Kelly said Mitchell did not meet 'workplace standards.'
'Look, there are standards,' Kelly said. 'I can confirm he is no longer on the roster but we have standards that need to be met. And those standards were not met. Like any business or organization, you have workplace standards. So, those standards were not met. That's all I'm going to talk about relative to Sydir because he's no longer with us.'
The 6-foot-6, 355-pound Mitchell transferred to LSU from Texas in the offseason but did not play in the first two games for the No. 3 Tigers.
He was a three-star prospect from Bergen Catholic High School in New Jersey in the 2023 class. He entered the transfer portal last Dec. 16 and committed to LSU four days later.
He made seven tackles in nine games at Texas.
