A former Jimmy Lindsey top DL recruit is also at EMCC …

With the news of LSU offering EMCC and former UGA player Shone Washington this week …

Former South Carolina pledge Zavion Hardy is also in Scooba after running into issues with the NCAA clearinghouse last recruiting cycle.

6’5, 270 pounds Zavion Hardy was a consensus top 200 prospect for much of the process until late when he was bumped to a 3 star — I’m thinking the drop is in conjunction with his academic standing.

Hardy had offers from Auburn, Florida, FSU and others but chose USC in part due to his relationship with current LSU staffer Jimmy Lindsey

The 247Sports Composite that factors in all rankings considers Hardy the No. 155 recruit nationally and the 22nd-best defensive lineman in the country. Said 247Sports director of recruiting Steve Wiltfong: “Hardy is an explosive player at the point of attack with long arms, change of direction ability and a big frame upside. Envision a 6-4, 300-pound prototypical SEC body type down the road. He’s twitchy up front.”
