Sat next to him at the game. Guy was a total class act. Very laid back, extremely nice and personable. Had great things to say about the new WR coach and next season. It was nice to see a football player, on such a high profile team, sit back and enjoy being a fan for a change.

Yes this is my first CSB, but just wanted to share.

I hope he becomes a big endzone threat like most hoped he would when we picked him up. He has all the tools, just needs to put it all together.

I still have faith he will turn out to be a big contributer.

He's definitely got the size. I'm 5'11". He is a good 6'2" - 6'3" range. I'm pulling for him. Great representative of LSU

There will certainly be opportunities this year.Everyone except OBJ is unproven.

Agreed. Another positive was his description of Mett. Said his accuracy is unbelievable. Has great touch on his throws. It was funny because he laughed when I brought up everyone talking about Mett being cocky. He told me Mett is just confident in what he does. He said Mett just believes in himself to make plays.

This guy is one of the best stories in college football. If I a

Not mistaken this guy lived in a car with his mom for a while. He is a blindside type of story. Anyone know the details? I know he was a state high jump champ
And I have seen him make the sickest 1 handed catches at practice. Dude is under the radar!

He could definitely emerge as our big-WR threat. He looked really sharp in the spring game.

Very similar to Blindside. Teacher at Slidell took him in to her family upon learning of his hardships.
