4-star QB Gerry Bohanon expects big push from LSU

“I loved it. The atmosphere was crazy,” Bohanon raved. “They had me fired up. I wanted to go out there and play, especially after that punt return, which turned the whole game and everything around. It was shocking, man. I didn’t want to leave. Watching that, wow. I haven’t been watching all of their games that much, but the way they were playing game, bouncing back like that left a mark on me.”

Bohanon, among the most highly sought-after dual-threat quarterbacks in the class, has been to several college campuses in recent months. Most recently, he’s visited Louisville and Baylor, but has also made stops to Tennessee, Auburn, Georgia and Mississippi State, among others.

How does LSU’s Death Valley compare to the rest?

“To be honest, that’s the loudest one I’ve ever been in,” he said. “I couldn’t hear myself think, especially in the big situations at the end. I couldn’t hear anything it was so loud. I can see why they call it Death Valley.”

“Man, I really enjoyed it,” Bohanon said of his first visit to Baton Rouge. “I was glad to make it, to see how they coached and see how the team played. Some of the things they run, I can see how it would benefit me. They have a lot of passing plays where they run deep routes, post routes, the stuff that I excel at and some of my favorite route combinations like the fades, vertical post routes, crossing routes, the stuff that I’m very comfortable with.”

However, in light of Bohanon’s recent recruiting decision, consider LSU a team very much in play. The coaching staff will have to continue to increase contact with the quarterback target, but the Tigers are a team with a lot of momentum in this pursuit.

“It all depends on how far we go,” Bohanon explained. “I’m glad I made it there and it makes them a contender. If they pick up [communication], you never know how far it can go. We’ll have to communicate better, work on our relationship to know that I’d be good with them for four years of my life and they trust my talent in their hands.
