re: LSU is using a scholarship on a Backup High School Kicker

It doesn't at the very least raise an eyebrow that he doesn't kick field goals for his high school team? Is LSU going to have 2 kickoff guys on scholarship next year or are they planning on trotting out someone who has never kicked under pressure next year as the field goal kicker when they have a capable walk-on? After Colby D has a solid year, Gamble will be Dalton Botts'ed. I just don't know why they have to even get the kid's hopes up.

Are you sure he's getting a scholarship? He's committed to play for the Tigers.

NO concerns over here. Kicker had to earn a scholly just like any other recruit that comes to LSU camps. The coaches know how many players they can recruit this year and they understand 14' is full of talent. If a no named kicker gets a scholly out of thin air, then the only assumption that comes to mind is "this dude must be a hell of a kicker". Numbers are too tight for us to give away full rides to question marks. This dude must be the real deal.

It shows me that the staff is placing more value on the kickoff than you are...or maybe more than the typical program does.
It's a similar issue with a deep snapper. This staff values that position highly.
Field position is worth a lot.
