He’s one of the fastest HS kids in Louisiana. He’s a better baseball player, but is following his dreams of playing football. Stud of an athlete.

This is the kind of guy who often ends up a star on special teams.

probably just got the Nod to be a preferred walk-on because of the Tae Provens news I would suspect!

I had a lawyer representing me and several coworkers in a law suit. He is a shareholder at Liskow and Lewis. His name is Thomas McGoey II. Wonder if this is his son or at least a relative?

No question. Dude can jump into the bed of his Toyota 4 wheel drive...with the tailgate up. It's crazy to watch. Hopefully he can make an impact on special teams and grow from there. He's solid as a rock @ 6' 1".

He is solid and could end up if anything being great on ST's or even bulk up more and move to LBer. Nice get either way

His first highlight is him almost chasing someone down from behind on a long touchdown run.

I'm not even kidding. How is that considered a highlight?

That's our running back who's a damn good running back but by no means a burner he's a 4.7-4.8 guy.

These ppl posting his times have lost their mind. Legendre is the only one at EDW with legit speed.

Props to anyone willing to beat themselves up as a walkon, but anyone thinking he will get playing time's crazy. This kid wasn't even 1st or 2nd team all-district in a really shitty district.

One had nothing to do with the other. Preferred Walkons do not count against 85 Scolly limits

Coaches rarely give PWO offers to kids unless they think they may be able to contribute, at least on special teams.

vs Central Lafourche


Judge for yourself he's #4 at CB, but I just don't see that kid ever getting any playing time except on special teams in garbage time as a thank you for years of service as a tackling dummy.

It's kinda weird to me when preferred walk-ons do the twitter committed thing without mentioning that it is a preferred spot.


I don't know about other areas but on the bayou this seems largely a thing the private school kids do EDW, Vandy, CCA. They even have signing ceremonies for PWO.

The publics Thibodaux, CL, SL, Ellender, etc have sent a number of PWO's in recent years with little fanfare.

So I'm assuming you were one of the few that was blessed to even sniff the practice field let alone run out onto the field as Tiger?

Why don't you stop pissing in these kids cornflakes!! Obviously they saw something in him to offer him a PWO spot! I would have killed to put on that LSU helmet and sniff a play on special teams and get my head bashed in on scout team!

I'm just pissing in the cornflakes of the idiots on this board who thinks a kid that wouldn't have started for the majority of the shitty bayou schools is going to somehow see the field at LSU just because some other idiots posted some bullshite measurables.

If he really had those measurables, Rebowe would have been all over him.

Have fun hyping up the kids ego tigerdroppings....
