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.

Could be a beast at Fritzlane

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

Zeek•73 months

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.

Cajunboy46•73 months

Ok my bad and I’m sorry but I still can’t get over the fact that Leslie didn’t give Lee a shot in the natship after jj wasn’t doing a damn thing that just blew my mind I mean for Pete sake the boy did win what was it eight games for us before we played the gumps and he threw one int and they pull him and put jj in I mean come on man if you wasn’t upset about that natship game then you are not a tiger fan bro that shite had me so pissed off I was about to jump off the platform I was on offshore and swim back to shore and I was 150 miles out

Cajunboy46•73 months

Oh my bad he thre two picks but still

Cajunboy46•73 months

I bet you my bottom dollar if Leslie Miles was still head coach he would have been the starter him or Mcmillian hmmm I wonder why

GumboPot•73 months

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

voodooidotwo•73 months

So we stick by you while you are injured, give you a chance to start and you transfer when you lose out? BYE!

TaderSalad•73 months

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.

BRgetthenet•73 months

He gone.

STRIPES•73 months

Bye.

dellis337•73 months

It frees up a scholarship for someone else though.

dellis337•73 months

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

Hangit•73 months

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.

75503Tiger•73 months

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

Hangit•73 months

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.

toothfxr92•73 months

Can’t make the pros if he can’t win the spot in college. Js Baker Mayfied and Russell Wilson comes to mind when I read your post

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.

MrBrutus•73 months

Processed

Cycledude•73 months

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!

PortHudsonPlaya•73 months

Wish him well.

olgoi khorkhoi•73 months

Wow, this dude gave up quick.

1 Call•73 months

Bull shite! 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!!

olgoi khorkhoi•73 months

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.

GeologyGrad88•73 months

Well, I think we now know that 1 Call is Narcisse trolling us on TD!

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.

1 Call•73 months

Oh he definitely will be in the SEC! And he will still be a Tiger!

Blob Fish•73 months

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?

TheTigershark•73 months

Do you lose eligibility in juco?

STRIPES•73 months

Yes

SomeLSUguy•73 months

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...

TJGator1215•73 months

Come to UF after a year at Juco lowell!

STRIPES•73 months

After all your scouting and evaluation you decided you wanted him at UF but only after he goes to a JUCO? Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha!!!

1 Call•73 months

Like I said, he will be in the SEC! And he will win a Championship!

Faceplant•73 months

Oh look, his mom posts here yall
