I had high expectations for him coming out of high school. To me, he doesn’t look like a 5 star DB flying around. Hope he can figure things out and become an impact player.

He's as lost as I said he was back in spring. He has no business being on the field but is forced to due to depth.

Speak volumes at the lack of depth at DB. Now you see why LSU is loading up in recruiting on S and nickels. Don't be surprised to see more transfer there after this season.

He is definitely not playing like a 5 star

It wasn't the busted coverage for me, that happens, especially with a new safety back there. The disappointing part was his lack of any competitive tackle attempt after the catch. He basically got dragged into the end zone.

Have no idea what he was thinking on the TD. His teammates had Ashford pretty well contained; don’t trigger until he crosses the LOS.

I think he’s going to come around. He’s played in 3 different defensive systems in 3 seasons. For a young player it may be a hard transition. But I do think he will figure it out.

That Pass Interference against him was an Awful call.

He has struggled…he is still very inexperienced. Hopefully it starts to click for him.

He is only in his second year and at least he is getting playing time and has been good except that one play. I would be more worried about the other high 4 star/ low 5 star safety from Pennsylvania who will never be athletic enough to see playing time here. This is coming from people in the know.

Some of y’all LSU fans are weirdos. The kid is doing fine, first time getting meaningful reps under a legit DC as a true sophomore. He’s going to mess up and grow from it.

He certainly hasn’t lived up to the billing so far.

For everyone good play he makes he follows it up with too bad place. Disappointed in his progress.

He doesn't pop athletically like Perkins or even Hilton that shows elite speed on occasion. I don't see anything thats gonna make him anything but average.

Do you also see the good plays he makes or does he only come to your attention when he gets beat on a pass . Just as I type this I am watching Sage break up the 4th and 10 pass at he 15 yard line which gave LSU great field position.

He may not be playing up to the 5 star standard, but I think he’s making clear strides and is better than he was as a Freshman. Realistically you can’t ask for anything more than an upward trajectory. He’s been solid to me.

He can’t cover and he can’t tackle.
