LSU QB Lowell Narcisse Announces He Is Transferring

by TD Staff Reporter

August 14, 2018112 Comments

Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports

LSU redshirt freshman quarterback Lowell Narcisse announced Tuesday night that he is transferring out of the program.

Narcisse, a former four-star dual-threat quarterback from St. James, La, signed with LSU for the class of 2017, choosing the Tigers over Auburn and others. He was rated as the No. 5 dual-threat QB for 2017 and the No. 4 overall player from the state of Louisiana, according to ESPN Recruiting.

An ACL injury caused Narcisse to miss his senior year of high school and he redshirted his freshman season at LSU last year. He was expected to compete for the starting position this season.

The Tigers now have three scholarship quarterbacks on the roster in senior Justin McMillan, sophomore Myles Brennan, and junior Joe Burrow.

So all the lsu fans bashing narcisse for "quitting" do realize Joe Burrow did the same thing at OSU?

That's not true, Matt Flynn started over Ryan Perrilloux. And Les Miles gave Jarrett Lee a fair opportunity to start. He just kept throwing the ball to Alabama, when we played them.

I respect Narcisse and wish him best of luck for this decision. It will turn out well for both LSU and Narcisse.

This cant be said enough. 2 way street here. Kid hadn't taken a meaningful snap in a while... you're not going to prance in here and start. If this is his attitude, then it isnt one of leadership. Glad he's moving on.

It frees up a scholarship for someone else though.

The staff must've sat down after the scrimmage and put out a depth chart. 1. Burrow, 2. Brennan, 3. J-Mac, 4. Lowell.

He wants to play pro ball. You don't get to the pros by riding the pine. He will move on to a smaller school where he can play. He just got beat out by more talented guys.

Can’t make the pros if he can’t win the spot in college. Js

Most don't go pro. Even most starters don't go pro. Minimum practice squad money is $7,200 per week but can be more. Not a bad gig but you have to play in college to even get on the practice squad.

Lowell Narcisse was 4th on depth chart. He struggled with accuracy. He has two knees injuries that have kept him from any significant football for over 2 years. yes he is athletic, but not a starter at LSU or any power 5 school. He is a good wildcat or read option package qb. No big deal.

I think if he had stayed, he would have played some this year. Had he shown a lot of success, his playing time would have increased. I think he left too soon. It is his decision though, and I wish him happiness wherever he ends up!

Bull shit! Every one is Burrow and Brennan crazy! He will definitely win a Championship with another program. There is no QB on LSU's roster with his TALENT!!

Seems like he might be a quitter. Hasn’t played football in 3 years and what? Expects to be the starter in year 2? He gave up quick, but it’s better to figure out a guy is a quitter early than late.

Gonna miss him. He seemed like a great kid with a big heart and good head on his shoulders. Hope to see him do well as long as it’s not in the SEC.

Just another player who would rather play for an inferior program than compete for the starting role at a superior one. Gone are the days where players wait in line to gain experience and start as juniors and seniors a la Matt Flynn. Gross entitlement. Start me now or I’m leaving! Sad! What if Burreaux (God forbid) tears his ACL game one?

I have to feel like the coaches must have given the QB's some sort of insight on who was leading for the starting job and he did not like where he was placed. Selfishly, I wish he would stay. But that is because I want as much talent on the team as possible. But from an athlete's perspective, I do not blame him. These guys only have a few year window to make something of themselves before their careers are over (unless they are good enough to go pro), so why waste those years riding the pine when he is clearly good enough to play at a lot of schools across this country. So I say, Good Luck Lowell! Thank you for your time and I wish you all the best...
