Baseball commit Jordin Griffin expresses interest in playing football at LSU

If he’s a take by Lane, the NIL package could help persuade him to college and forgo the MLB Draft offer for a few years.

Just don’t want to see another elite baseball prospect fall behind by trying to play football like Mo Hampton did.

shite yes. Good speed and excellent vision. Hope he does join both teams

Exactly my point.

I think Griffin is a much better baseball prospect than Hampton was.

Like just compare Hampton's swing in college to Griffin's swing at like 12 years old. Griffin looked like 10x the natural baseball player Hampton did.

To be clear, I understand Hampton was the better *prospect* based on tools and projectability. I think Griffin is the more natural baseball player. Used the wrong words.

Neville had two D1 safety’s that set the edge and held him to negative yards rushing. His other games besides that, he was the best athlete on the field. Not sure he is an SEC RB but no doubt he can play D1 football.

Fraley, Laird, Stevenson was the blazing outfield.

That’s not saying much, Their defense wasn’t as strong as Neville’s

Not saying he is not a D1 athlete I just wasn’t impressed even when he did have space, vision wasn’t the best either, He should prioritize baseball

Lol that’s fair. I guess just generally not a fan of it at all school like LSU.

We say that about every Barbe recruit until they make it to campus.
