What elite talent has come to LSU from St.Aug besides Fournette and Mathieu?

Two OL guys.

Yall are looking at it from a small sample size. Since 1964, St Aug has had 34 players go on to play in the NFL. Trai Turner will be 35. Thats ridiculous. Thats more than an NFL player every other year. 0.7 NFL players per year is what it comes out to. A decent ratio for some colleges, amazing for a high school. In 2004, they had the 2nd most active players in the NFL out of every high school in the country.

I have no idea who else they have coming out in the next few years besides Morgan and Lanard. But I guarantee you they have some young players that become legit college prospects. They always do. St Aug isnt a school that has 1 or 2 prospects every few years. They have multiple guys every single year. Its a legit D1 feeder school for all athletics, not just football.

Fact is, St. Aug is 1 of the few schools in the state that consistently sends out D1 talent year in year out. Each year, they have legit prospects and have multiple D1 players. You can only say that about a handful of high schools in the state.
