re: OverLooked LA Prospects

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.
