Pat White - WR
Dak Prescott - TE

Didn’t Alabama infamously want Bo Jackson at another position but Bo chose Auburn because he could play RB?

I personally know Brennan Eagles.

His family grew up in Scotlandville, but he moved to the Houston area as a child but still wore LSU gear and cheered on the Tigers.

He told me he wanted to come to LSU, but Les wanted him to play TE, so he chose UT instead.

As fate would have it, Brennan scored UT’s first TD against LSU in the 2019 game.

So the way to solve that issue is to let the player compete for the position in the spring....it won't take long to see if you are right!

You ever heard of a guy named Dak? Miles wanted him to play TE and he went to Miss St


Saban wanted him as a non-QB,as well as a few others. That’s the only reason he went to state…

That there’s always a starting QB in a Bowl game and apparently they wanted to come to LSU but the coach wanted them play a different position?
I can think of two.

Prescott, who only had two offers, LSU and Moo State. He had some troubles that made him a concern, from what I gather.

Bohanon was offered as a QB I thought, just that the guy he ended up playing for said he could use him as a linebacker.

Who else?

Well, he would have been on the bench had he gone to LSU as a WR.
