Barkevoius Mingo?

Uh, didn't he sign with Georgia?

As for linebackers, Kelvin Sheppard (6'3", 239) is the real deal but needs some help. Ryan Baker, who has missed all of Spring practice with bruised ribs, according to what I have been told, will start at the Buck outside linebacker position. Stefoin Francois (6’1", 207, JR) from East St John high school is in a heated battle with Kevin Minter (6'1", 240, RSFR) from Suwanee, Georgia, and Lamin Barrow (6'2", 212, RSFR) from John Ehret high school in Marrero for the third starting linebacker position.

LSU has three very promising young linebackers in Tahj Jones (6'2", 205, RSFR), Barkevious Mingo (6'5", 212, RSFR) and Josh Johns (6'2", 205, RSFR). The holdback with Jones, Mingo and Johns is that they each need to add 15-20 pounds. Kyle Prater (6'1", 224, SO) and Rocky Duplessis (6'1", 200, RSFR) are also in the mix for playing time.

He is only a RSFR and he is 6'5" 212. Needs to bulk up some. Kevin Minter is more physically ready to play and I think people forget about him because he came from Georgia and committed pretty early in the process, but he was ranked pretty close to where Mingo was.

My question is where did Barrow come from to get considered as a possible starter. Did he improve that much last season?
