ESPN 104.5 Jordy Culotta interviews Rashard Lawrence

Nice listen if you have 8 minutes. He handles himself very well and is excited to be a Tiger.
Breakdown if you don't have the time.....
He said it really was 50/50 down to the wire until he met with Dave Aranda. Said Aranda was the deciding factor. When showed what Aranda would do, he said "Wow, we have a chance to be very special". "With returning the whole D-Line and bringing in the number 1 recruiting class, it's going to be something special." He's a big baseball fan (plays it) and when they brought him to see a game at The Box, it made a big impression on him. When asked about Coach O, he said "He's different, but in a special way. The way he talks and handles himself. The first day of in homes, he was there. The first day he could see me at the school, he was there. That meant a lot to me. We didn't just build a football relationship, but a family relationship. I got a chance to know his wife and kids. It was a lot of fun." As far as recruiting goes he said "I'm going to reach out to whoever I can to be better than number 1 if we can (laughs)". When asked about the style of ball he sees himself succeeding in, he said at Neville they played an attacking style. After speaking to Aranda, he was told they would utilize him to play an attacking style that would get penetration into the backfield with the D-Line. Said "Our secondary will be loaded, we have Beckwith coming back. We will have an attacking defense. Like Coach Orgeron said, our sack numbers went up a lot from the previous year and with what we have coming back and what we have coming in, I see those numbers going up a lot more. It's going to be attacking and it's going to be a lot of fun".

Thanks for the summary, Cali. So excited to see an Aranda defense with LSU talent.

So do I. This is the kind of defense that'll be fun to watch for years. Very much looking forward to the season.

Gosh darn it I am trying not to set my hopes too high this football season but it is damn near impossible to not be beyond excited right now.

It's very exciting. I just hope the coaches and qb figure out the passing game. It's very hard for that not to put a damper on my excitement.

Excellent interview.
Lawrence is extremely well spoken.
Guy will be a great representative of LSU throughout his career.

Sounds like Rashard is going to make Tiger fans proud by the way he carries himself. There seem to be a lot of those guys in this class.

man I've got full confidence in arranda brining our D back to the level we expect.
I never believed in steele's ability to be that guy. Such an upgrade.

we have Beckwith coming back
I wonder how much this has influenced others as well? Maybe kept one recruit or two?
Very excited for next year and these kids are too.
