Actually Trey Prather played at LSU... A lefty but passed away during his stay there i believe. he was in vietnam b4 that

Here's the story. I was alive and paying attention when it happened. Prather was a great pocket passer. Not an option/running QB. In those years Coach Mac preferred a running QB. Don't know if he sold Prather a bill of goods or not. But after his freshman year Prather realized that LSU was not going to be a passing school so he dropped out.

That caused him to lose his college deferment for the draft. Went to VN and got killed There is a monument at Woodlawn HS erected shortly after his death.

Bradshaw also held the state javelin record for years...saw him and Roger Staubach air it out against each other in Ruston when the later was in the Navy...what a show!
