There was one last year.(All-state) Led the state in passing.(over 3000yds) Junior year was second in state passing.5 time 5A player of the week both seasons.Finished high school as a two year starter with 76 total TD's.Had 14 td's in the 5A playoffs and led his team to the final four . Lost to West Monroe but game went to final 6 min.Was referenced by two Saints coaches. Knows the game. He was told by Frank Wilson he was the best QB in the state but they would not recruit a 6' QB...Told him if e was 6'2" he was in. Tough to swallow but it is what it is. He was offered by Petrino last minute on NSD but passed to go to a smaller college. He's very happy with his deal but growing up around here who wouldn't want to be a Tiger. Actually has put on more muscle since season. up to 188lbs now.

We've moved on a few La guys that are under the radar. Shaan Washington (DB/LB) has held a TAMU offer for while now and just recently Edward Williams (LB) out of New Orleans was offered. I had never heard of Williams before a few days ago but apparently he's a player. Any of you know anything about either of these guys?


This week is the first I've heard about Williams. As for Washington, he was a guy who was on most everyone's early list of possible in-state LSU targets, but seems to have fallen away. It's only recently I've started to hear his name again.

I don't know if LSU winds up offering, but he is an intriguing prospect. Good size and off the chart athletic ability. He's 6-3, 200, I think. And he has a 40 inch vertical leap.

He had some big games as a receiver last year, but he seems to project at safety/LB on the next level. He's also a pretty solid basketball player. Not sure what the LSU staff thinks of him. I think he made all state last year.
