That does not surprise me. There was no way he was going to be denied tonight. Looking at LSU's style recently, this kid should have been a take a year ago. I understand the guys the staff believes in for the future, but this kid could help us sooner. I can't imagine that he can't at least be a 4th down, short yardage, or goal line threat almost instantly. I know he will be competing with 3 other guys, but he'll be the biggest, fastest one. There certainly is room for a guy like him.


If he can't throw the ball there is no room for him
I don't think he has the arm that Harris has, or is as fast. He is clearly a lot bigger than the compassion in LA Select Division III, but thats not saying a lot

The highlight video is all fades and deep ball to #13 who always seems to be wide open behind the defenders.

I don't think he has anywhere near the arm that Brandon Harris has, and i would say Harris looks faster too, at least on tape.

we aren't exactly hurting for power running. This kid could develop nicely, but he also could be a smaller Cam Newton with a much weaker arm. Which is pretty uninspiring.

He's virtually the same size as Cam and he's being recruited to pitch/play outfield for ULL so I think the arm strength argument can be put to rest. He needs to develop his mechanics, mostly with his lower body. This happens to be the system that he runs in high school. He does not make those decisions. I mean Cam's offense at Auburn was completely different from what the Panthers asked of him. Just because a qb runs a certain system, doesn't mean they are not capable of running another one. That film was from a year ago as well.

Understand this, I'm very on board with Harris and his abilities. I'm not sold he's All World, but I believe he can develop into a good qb for LSU. I think Pellerin would add a serviceable role to the qb depth. Also, I like the fact that he can take some time to develop and maybe stay on campus a while, and also add some opportunities to have some running packages or run some scout looks against spread opponents.

The staff is taking a good look at Pellerin and don't be surprised to read more about him in the coming months. I honestly think Ole Miss has a good shot to hold onto him because of the opportunity there.
