These big WRs don’t usually translate well. He has real track speed so I hope he’s different

Sorry, but you have violated the copyright laws. "Manchild" belongs solely to Billy Bob from the movie Varsity Blues. As least you didn't say "he is so big, he has his own area code".

I’ve always thought of him as a bigger Jarvis Landry in terms of the way they play. I wouldn’t want to undersell Landry by saying Francis’ hands and toughness are on that level yet.

I get Devonta lee & racey McMath vibes. Just big, straight line athletes that out-physical high school kids

I saw defense cause he could have a Patrick Queen profile potentially

He is the LA athlete that commits early to LSU and everyone backs off on because they know its a waste of time recruiting. Goes under the radar in the cycle and blows up in a year or two. He is a quick twitch electric athlete SEC DBs will struggle with one on one. His highlight video is on par with OBJ Landry Chase etc. Glad he committed early and remained loyal.

Reminds me of Devin Duvernay from when we played Texas. Thick wr that was very hard to tackle. He almost wrecked us in 2019.

Really wish we took Manchild's WR and DE teammates. All ballers and I believe Oliver Mitchell #5 went to Tulane and Corey Adams went to Ole Miss. I'm willing to bet on standout players from Louisiana on very good teams.

Agreed.
Karr wrecked shite all season long. Give me a 3 star from Karr over some 4-5 star from these states they don't produce dawgs any day of the week.

Only saw the one game, but he is the most physically developed player I have ever seen at the high school level, how he translates to SEC production at WR, I dont know...but against HS kids he is a man among boys. But all the Karr receivers were good, but more because how tough they are after the catch. Just hell to bring down.

Maybe he can show the LSU receivers how to high point the ball.

He is built in that same mold as Chase. He has that running back frame with great hands. He also has that attitude after the catch. If you watch Jefferson and Chase, the thing that stands out is that they are relentless in trying to gain more yards after the catch.
