Are you his father, brother, cousin, best friend?
How well do you know him? Is he a good kid, who is recruiting him right now? Has he heard from LSU?

Well I wish him the best and hope he continues to work hard.

why did his vertical drop 11 inches just from the title of this thread to the body?

You want to get him from under the Radar tell him to say he wants to attend LSU and will even walk on if he needs to do that and soon he will be on the Radar.

Did you click on the links? The 52 inch wasn't a true "vertical" in combine terms it was a jump up to a 52 inch platform.

Why the move from Newman?

Sounds like your son is one heck of an athlete at a solid football school as well. Hope he keeps improving and maybe we can see him in that purple & gold one day

Is that how most schools measure a vertical? Thats not how we used to do it. Seems harder that way

Good luck man !! I like this kind of stuff. Even though Im faster and can jump higher than your kid, he appears to be a great athlete.

Send him to camps.

Camp and he will be noticed.Wonder why 2lame didn't offer?

I knew kirk was looking to transfer, didn't think Destrehan was one of the main players. Good athlete. Maybe he can play with Kendall again in 2 years.
