He’s big , fairly athletic, strong arm with nice touch and runs an rpo offense. Plays at St Thomas More in Lafayette.

Harvard > LSU ... kid will be a legend for the Crimson and financially set for life. No brainer decision IMO

Don’t know if the wet turf was messing up the receiver routes, but he was way off last night. Missed more throws last night than maybe all last year.

Lindsey Scott decided it would be best for him to bypass the Harvard scholarship and take his chances at LSU. He will now get a degree from Nicholls.

Threw for around 270 yards and 4 TDs in basically one half of work. I wouldn’t call that way off. He definitely wasn’t off against Barbe last week when he threw for 460 yards and 7 tds

The ignorance about Harvard on this board is widespread. Playing football at Harvard, and being socially promoted through school, does not give one a leg up on life. If I recall, Lindsey Scott had about a 25 on his ACT. That is not nearly good enough to go to Harvard, which for someone from the hinterlands and no football talent would require about a 36 to have about a 10% chance of getting in.

Pretty sure it would have gotten him a better leg up than Nicholls. But carry on Penrod.

The kid is going to Harvard. He has different priorities than your typical athlete. He values education over athletics and he’s leveraging his athletic ability in combination with his academic ability to get the best college education possible.

You guys please understand Ivy League school doesn’t give out football scholarships.

According to Harvard University's website, 70 percent of students receive some form of financial aid, and these scholarships and packages do not require students to take out loans. The scholarships come from a combination of alumni donations, endowment funds and federal and state grants.
tl:dr, You can be sure Lindsey would have had his schooling taken care of.

One of my son’s friends went to Princeton to play football (he was also a great student) and they found enough academic scholarship money for him to go for next to nothing. They get around that “no athletic scholarship” rule all the time.

I saw him play in the state championship last year. Very impressed with him.

Plus, he's got way better intangibles, is a winner and been coached to succeed at the quarterback position.

Flip the 2 teams they play on and you see similar results in the sense Finley would have huge numbers and Holstein would be "Struggling". Finley is playing in an offense without a coach to give him any direction in it or a solid supporting cast.
Holstein has been groomed for his offense and to mask any deficiencies he has.
The coaches have seen both these QBs plenty of times and offered Finley, never offered Holstein. Finley and Holstein's offer list are quite a bit different from one another. So if you want to damn our staff for offering 1 over the other, go ahead and call Alabama, Auburn, Baylor, UGA, Oregon, MSU, Ole Miss and UNC's staffs all dumb as well for offering Finley over Holstein.
The biggest issue Finley has is lack of proper development and not being in an offense suited to him with proper coaching. He really should have went to IMG when he had the chance, his numbers would look substantially better.

His dad was a punter for LSU FYI.

He bounced a lot of balls to open receivers when they pressured him.
