How good is this guy and is there any former tigers that this guy compares to?

Anquan Boldin is who he reminds me of the most. He'll start for LSU this year.

Cam and Les were high on him, and if you watch his Sophmore and SR highlights you will see why, dude is dynamic. Would be a really good if not great slot/motion man. Give him some end arounds and let him run slant routes and work the middle of the field.

Have you ever seen Malachi play? I think he will be our go to guy especially red zone.

Do you think he'll be able to learn the routes between summer and fall? Usually there's a learning curve. Dairse will likely get the nod early in the season

I remember him being legendary in high school. Forgot he was even at LSU.

This is only his 2nd year on the team. I think he will contribute significantly this year.

He didn't disappear, just redshirted

Got injured, that set him back. He would have played a good bit as a true freshman

He's legit. Not a blazer, but very good in space. Good sized kid and plays tough. He'll start and make people wonder why he redshirted? Remember, Jarvis Landry made very little impact as a freshmen receiver. LSU receivers have a history of showing up big their 2nd season on campus. Get ready.

All true.

The word used to describe his ability last spring and early fall was "special". I wouldn't be surprised to see him bust out this season. Also look for a trick pass play from him. He can throw the ball on a line when need be.

If I had to compare Diarse to any one receiver, I don't think I could really. I see really two very different receivers in him.

In high school he reminded me a lot of Jared Mitchell, but without the top end speed. They both looked untouchable in open field. Of course, Diarse has a bigger frame and is focusing on just football so that should help.

I also see some of Juice Landry in Diarse. He is a very technical player. Tough guy who blocks, runs good routes, and is just a gamer. He is bigger than Landry, which could help. It will be hard to ever compare anybody's hands to the level of Landry and I won't make that claim with Diarse. He's solid though.

Looking forward to seeing him in spring. He seemed to be turning heads last fall in camp

Early Doucet-esque?

He's a lot smoother than doucet. Doucet may have been the strongest receiver we've ever had at LSU. I would say his open field ability is similar to early. Early was naturally a more gifted athlete, but Diarse is a more polished receiver prospect.

I got to watch him a lot in HS and I definitely think he will be a major player on the offense next season. He does not have world class speed, but where he is most dangerous is after the catch. He is thick and physical...corners will have a hard time bringing him down in the open field. Not quite sure who I would compare him to, but IMO he will utilized in the slot and run a lot of the intermediate routes why Dural and Dupre stretch the defense vertically.
