Yes, I remember some of it...was All state LBer, Mr.Football in louisiana ...Came to LSU, Dad was bragging on him saying he would be All Freshman his 1st yr, be All SEC by his soph year and win the Heisman trophy by his junior year... dude ran a 4.69 forty and never saw the field...dad was pissed and had it out with the coaches deciding to hve him transfer to Texas..well there he was nothing more than a reserve...he ended up going to LA TECH in 2002 where he started and ended up with 72 tackles and 2 int... wasn't drafted in the NFL and was out of football....
Yep, that's him. Was it Saban's first year? I remember being shocked when it happened, and wondered why the staff didn't fight to keep him. It was like they just let him walk out the door, didn't even make him sit out a year, gave him a full transfer.
After that, I realized Saban seemed to have known kid was a bust, and let him walk. I now always figure when they let a kid walk without much of a fight, they must know something we don't.
