LSU BACKUP QB LINDSEY SCOTT JR. TO TRANSFER

BATON ROUGE – Backup quarterback Lindsey Scott Jr. has opted to leave LSU and transfer to another program, head coach Ed Orgeron confirmed on Monday.

"I had a very good talk with Lindsey this morning and we talked about his future,” Orgeron said. “He is a great young man from a great family. We wish him all of the best in the future."

Scott, a native of Zachary, redshirted last year as a true freshman.

This is how you transfer. You commit, and honor that commitment. When you realize that you have to make a business decision due to factors outside of your control (i.e. strong QB class) you do what is best for you. Nothing but respect for LS. You'll go far!

Absolutely no hard feelings on either side. Lindsey is a quality young man who was simply buried on the depth chart and likely would never have seen the field in a meaningful game. He is very smart and should pursue a degree at a high end academic school where he can play qb and excel in the classroom as well as the field. Hope we get a chance to see him shine. A true class act! Both he and his family. Thanks for being a Tiger!

blueboy•80 months

Can't say I blame him. He's a good player with potential and he wants to play.

Hope he takes the Ivy League by storm.

He's going to do really well somewhere I have a feeling.

Popo2000•80 months

Hate to see him leave but I completely understand. Great young man and I wish him the best. He will be a great QB for another school. That being said, this is a positive sign about Brennan and Narcisse.

Good luck young man. I pray for the absolute best for you.

Good luck to what appears to be a fine young man

jimmy the leg•80 months

A class young man. I wish the best of luck to him.

EvrybodysAllAmerican•80 months

I think he'd have been a better fit in a les miles offense. Ball control, smart, can make plays with his feet when necessary. New regime will hopefully be airing it out more. Best of luck to him. Hats off to him for choosing LSU in the first place.

themunch•80 months

Thanks for being a Tiger and best of everything for you in your future.

Freddy238•80 months

He should go to Tulane, its the perfect offense for his talents.

luciouslou•80 months

brennan is the real deal. its obvious!

EvrybodysAllAmerican•80 months

He will do well somewhere. Hopefully this means Brennan and/or Narcisse are balling out in practice.

Brennan. Already taking snaps with the 1's

Barbellthor•80 months

Good for him. Well done, young man, and truly the best of luck to you. Now, time for Myles Brennan....

LSU$$$•80 months

Turn down Harvard to come to LSU.............smh

buccaneer88•80 months

Yep

LSUrme•80 months

Was he offered a full ride to Harvard?

MSTiger33•80 months

Harvard does not provide athletic scholarships. They provide need-based financial aid certain students

Woodman•80 months

Harvard can certainly take transfers. If he needs a full ride, Duke or Northwestern wouldn't be bad places to land.

Hair of the Dog•80 months

They will not take any of his credits from LSU. 10 yrs ago none of Hatch's LSU credits would transfer.

username20•80 months

If you're transferring to Harvard with 4 years to play on scholarship, who cares if your 12 hours in basketweaving management do not transfer? Does that really impact a decision whatsoever?

ImayGoLesMiles•80 months

Lol, dude saw myles brennan throw the football and was like frick this shite I'm never gonna play here. Hahaha

Datbayoubengal•80 months

lol. Loved what I thought Scott could bring to the table but also loved the potential I saw in Brennan. I've said this before, but I think we should start Brennan and let him go through his ups and downs this year. Last year UGA, USCe, and Bama, started true freshmen at QB. Of course we actually have an experienced returning senior, but why waste a heisman season with Guice when Etling won't get us to the playoffs? Let Brennan grow with all the inexperienced WRs. He has a big arm, accurate, and at worst is as mobile as Etling. Bring the magic back to LSU.

Spankum•80 months

Good decision for Lindsey as I see it. probably saw himself sliding on the depth chart and honestly, knows the key to his future is in the classroom. Thanks for being a Tiger, Scott...now, go out and make your fortune in the world.

BayouBengal99•80 months

Good luck young man. It's ashamed that you couldn't stick around but we all understand. You're the definition of what LSU wants in its program, a smart, dedicated, talented individual who puts the team first. LSU simply has more players like you who fit it's offense. IMO LSU needs more players like you a other positions and is probably why we have seen so many transfers because that's what we are getting. Best of luck young man! Go Tigers!!
