With the massive amount of talent considering LSU in 2014, I would be surprised if LSU offered a fullback, though Swanson was offered in 2013. According to 247, LSU has no fullback targets yet. LINK

With Copeland and Neighbors being seniors, the other fullbacks on the roster yet to see the field, and our utilization of a fullback, the position is a need.

Just pick up another walk on? Maybe a current player makes the switch to that position? I think Lewis Neal would make a great fullback but his finesse moves on the d-line are superb. Maybe Lamar Louis or another big linebacker?

There are always walkons at the fullback positon, seem to take a couple more every year. Last year they had a kid from BR, steve scardinia...he seems to be the next in line. Granier, Neal, Micky Johnson are all some options if it doesnt work out for them on the other side of the ball. Id be surprised if we take a fullback on schollie this cycle considering the amount of interested talent and limited spots

JC moved from DL to FB.


We should get that 350lb Hawaiian RB as our next FB.

Probably too valuable to the D-line, but Deondre Clark vid-clips where he plays fullback are really nice. Definately likes contact.

Lewis Neal


i could definitely see him being recommended by the coaches to switch positions ala J.C. Copeland…

Gerrald McDowell 6-2 250 Covington La. is an undersized defensive lineman. Sound familiar?

Surprised no one has mentioned Clay Moffitt. Tommy Moffitt's son. He is a short TE but is super strong (go figure). He should walk on here.

I find it odd that this board says that defensive line was the BIGGEST need this year for depth; but then it is so quick to displace a dlineman to fullback.

Which is it? And why do we all think that, in order to get a fullback, you have to recruit/transition a dlineman?

Anomalies happen. Josh Reed from to wr
Copeland to fb.
Jason bagget/kyle kipps/steve peterman from te to OT.

I get it. But if we are recruiting 6' dlineman that "won't" start due to height (according to this board) then why are we giving them spots that could be used elsewhere?

Its not added depth if they aren't in the rotation.
