Very talented kid that LSU was very interested in and probably would've been offered but as earlier posted, his grades are horrible and apparantly unfixable at the HS level and he's juco bound even at this early juncture. Hard for me to understand how a kid is eligible to play football but yet has grades so bad as a hs junior that he is seen as a lost cause academically to get in college. Either his guidance counselor really fricked his credit load up or someone has been grade fixing to get him eligible for football. Maybe I'm way offbase but I'd love to hear how this happens.

He's simply too old. Probably held back a grade or two in elementary or middle school. The same thing happened to Alfred Blue but he got caught back up with summer school and stuff. Same reason Keiland Williams went to prep school.

Also, the requirements to play high school football just aren't as high as those to qualify for college football. Lots of kids have grades good enough for high school but not college.
