This is the first post I've seen where someone thought he wouldn't be a linebacker at LSU. Not saying you're wrong, just the first I've heard of it.

From everything that I have read, the staff told him that they are looking at him strictly at linebacker. Right now he is a huge fellow and is currently bigger than any LB on the current LSU roster. I assume he is around 16 or 17 years old and it is apparent that it takes effort from him to keep his weight down at such a young age. Nature and common sense tells me that he isn't going to stop growing anytime time soon. He may not get much taller, but his body should continue to fill out for another 4 years or so. Having a 270 pound MLB with great agility in Chavis' 4-3 would be interesting to see though.
