Coach O Praises Freshman WR Kayshon Boutte, "He's A Home Run Hitter"

LSU coach Ed Orgeron offered up some high praise on Monday for freshman wide receiver Kayshon Boutte who is getting a lot more playing time now that Ja'Marr Chase opted out of the season.

Boutte, a five-star prospect from New Iberia, was listed as a starter on LSU's Week 1 depth chart, along with Terrace Marshall Jr. and Racey McMath.

ED ORGERON: Well, I really like Kayshon. I think he's a home run hitter. I think he's going to be an excellent receiver. The day that Ja'Marr Chase left, he looked like we didn't skip a stride out there. He was outstanding. But you know what, he's a freshman, and he's going to have to come along. But he's going to be put in some big shoes. He's probably going to start for us. So I expect him to do a very good job throughout the season and get better throughout the season.
