1. LSU WR Russell Shepard continued his all around solid play today exhibited good route running ability and good away from his body catching. He made the play of the day running a double move vs. BW Webb with EJ Manuel throwing him the ball. Shepard was lined up split out to the left took two steps like he was running a slant which Webb bit on and then broke to the corner, which was left him wide open. EJ Manuel delivered a nice touch pass for a touchdown. The play had all the scouts in the stand oohing and ahhing. It was probably the play of the day offensively.

2. LSU DE Lavar Edwards continued to be the best defensive end prospect on the South roster. The defensive line spent most of the day working with Lions DL Coach Kris Kocurek.

Going through change of direction drills Edwards was clearly the most fluid and agile. He displayed good, quick feet and was able to bend around the corner better than any other defensive linemen going through the drills. Edwards hasn’t stood out too much in actually 1 on 1 pass rushing drills, but has shown enough this week to think he can develop into a good edge rusher with the development of a couple pass rush moves.
