Ethan Pocic, OL, LSU:
"I just loved the tradition, loved the great players that come through LSU, national championships, going to be a possible contender. I thought the SEC has the best rivalries out there. Of course, that’s up for debate. A lot of people like the Ohio State-Michigan [rivalry]. But I just feel like coming to LSU was the best decision I ever made, and I don’t look back on it. It was kind of one of those things where I woke up in the morning and was like, ‘I want to go to LSU, so I’m going to go to LSU.’ I committed that day."

The former four-star prospect chose LSU over offers from schools such as Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Clemson, Florida, Florida State, Iowa, Michigan, Michigan St., Missouri, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Ohio St., Oklahoma, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas A&M, USC, West Virginia and Wisconsin.

Pocic started all 12 games at center as a junior last season and was recently named to the Rimington Trophy watch list which is presented annually to the top center in Division I football.
