“My dad is an LSU alum,” Marceaux said. “I’ve grown up loving LSU and LSU baseball. I’ve been to plenty of games. I went on a visit in August (2015), right after they offered me and it just stood out. I felt right at home. I knew I wanted to call LSU home.” Marceaux loves LSU so much, in fact, that he is considering skipping his senior season entirely to get to the college early. That would make him ineligible for the upcoming draft, but (he hopes) put him in a purple and gold uniform sooner. “I am considering it,” he said. “There’s a possibility. There’s an opportunity. It kind of hit me that it’s not fair to my high school teammates to just kind of walk out on them. I’m not proud of that. But it’s an opportunity that not everybody gets. You can only imagine the decision I have to make.”

There is consensus on the state's top high school prospect. Destrehan pitcher Landon Marceaux is ranked as the No. 109 overall prospect by Baseball America and No. 117 by MLB.com. Marceaux, a 6-foot, 180-pound LSU signee has a fastball that has topped out at 94 mph. He is considered to be a tough sign and that could affect his draft status.
