Sounds like he has a good build to play ILB, but the speed to blitz from the middle, too. Does he have interest in LSU? Is LSU in touch with him?


He is a LSU fan, but he is one of those kids that just wants to play football. I think he will be participating in the LSU camp this summer. Whoever he goes to, they are getting a kid with a great work ethic.

His biggest knock is his size. Saban told him if he was 6'1 he would have offered him at the camp.

It's not the size of the dog in the fight;it's the size of the fight in the dog! And this dog can fight!

Lamar Louis is 5'11 230 and was a tackling machine. That kid can play here and should definitely camp!

Tahj is getting some calls and has been invited to the Tech game this coming up week. An invitation to the game is definitely not an offer but it has potential. He has had some contact with LSU and they spoke highly of him. He does have some offers. He has talked to some of the La Tech coaches.

He has also decided to run track this year to work on his speed. If he gets any faster he is going to be scary.

The offers are starting to roll in. I won't say who they are from, but all well respected D1 schools. I know some don't like his size, but he is a baller! I am hoping LSU jumps in the running!

I saw the young man play against West Monroe. He is a good player. I know the coaches were talking about him during the week and that we did not want to be in any third and long situations while facing him.

He is a special kid.. You know they wanted to win that game! I would love to see them play one more time in the playoffs. I think it will be a sold out crowd.

And that Bolden kid from WM is the most electric kid on that team. My nephew, Dory, played last year for WM.

They may meet again. Ruston has a good team. Bolden is fun to watch. In very limited action playing cornerback he has two interceptions the last two games. He is a football player as much as he is an athlete.

He looks pretty good but he really needs to go to LSU camp first so they could see him first hand and put through the tests.

I do think he will be going to the Tiger camp this summer. He had a big game tonight with one TD and a 1st down on two touches in a 34-28 win over Ouachita. Ouachita played away from pretty much the whole night, but he had some big defensive plays and tackles.

Sam Mills comes to mind when thinking of short dominant LBs


And most recently London Fletcher at 5'10 and one of the best MLB's in the NFL during the last 20 years.

This kid looks like a great player.
