The way it is going now with NIL, he could possibly wear 3 of the 8 uniforms in the pic above.

Top 8 schools?! Might as well be top 20 schools! College is losing its luster real quick.

This looks like a kid who wants to go to the highest bidder. Also, the Westgate coach isn't known to be LSU friendly.
