I don't know that I would agree with that at all. But, he hasn't played linebacker. Still is a great football player.

I haven't spoken to him in awhile but last time we talked it seemed to be a bama LSU battle. He had just taken his visit to bama and loved it and I'm sure still does.

What concerns me is that offer list. To me, it stinks of Bama making the offer to keep LSU from getting a good linebacker prospect. The Gumps have been known to offer kids that might help their SEC West opponents, then let them ride the bench while their 5-star prospects got playing time.

It could be bc he plays QB. I know he plays some defense for Dunham but not how much. Maybe there's just not enough film to go on

Russell Gage and Redemptorist were put into that district after they got dropped from 3A. Russell was already in high school at that point.
Nick Brosette, Tim Williams, and Brumfield all went to U-High, so that really doesn't count as Dunham's district either. They were recruited to go there from the local public schools strictly for sports(something no other school in the district was doing). On top of that, Tim was the only player to play in Dunham's district all 4 years. The rest of the players finished their high school careers playing 3A, which is where the school has belonged since 2011.
I'm not doubting that good players can come from small schools like Dunham, but you have to admit that the talent in that district is lacking. If Episcopal is consistently one of the top teams in the district, you can't really call it tough competition.

Actually, it appears he's growing into more of a DE prospect. He participated in the LSU OL/DL camp last month and worked out as a DE. He reportedly looked solid, and nola.com ran a video clip of him in a drill where he made a nice, quick inside move and got past the o-linenam trying to block him. I read that he now weighs north of 270.

Yeah, nobody good can ever come from Dunham. I mean, I played at Dunham and I ran the 40 in like ten minutes and only started because Todd Kinchen couldn't play every position. Wait, Todd Kinchen played at Dunham? Ok , never mind. It's safe to recruit Dunham and that district.
Posted on 7/8/17 at 6:01 pm to tFearIsReal
He should be the 1st player to go straight to the NFL because Todd Kinchen was really good.

Bayou_tigger_225...ever think that kids go to U-High to get an education like you won't find in our public schools? You're a idiot
Posted on 7/9/17 at 2:55 pm to LSU69TIGERS
Yeah jackass, that's part of the whole recruiting aspect. You're an idiot though if you think that they just so happened to get into U-High, a school that is notoriously hard to get into. I know for a fact that all three of them would take their test separately from the rest of the class in "resources", where teachers would read through the test with them question by question and they had unlimited time to complete it. I'm not saying that the kids didn't benefit academically, but don't sit there and tell me that they got accepted into U-High for any other reason than to play football.

The kid is a freak athlete. Once he gets into a professional weight program he's going to explode. I think LSU and Bama offered on this fact alone thinking we will find a spot for this big buy.
I agree that I believe he's being recruited as a DE/LB type but he could probably play MLB and I would also build packages for the guy at QB on GL and short yardage situations. He could also play FB, TE or H back.
This guy is a weapon on offense so I would seriously consider finding a spot for him there. With this multiple offense we would have no one like him and could use him in many different ways. That's the pitch I would give him.
Imagine Big Mike Williams and Tory Carter in some kind of jumbo package together. He's great with the football in his hands and if you ask me LSU could use these type of guys to add some bulk or real toughness to our offense. We want teams to dread playing our offense as much as our defense. The way Auburn used Pettway last year. Send this guy running across the formation for a hand off or a fake then have Tory Carter pulling to take, fake or block. Bounce some heads for a few plays then put our fastest shifty guy in there like a CEH to burn them. BTW Clyde is going to surprise many people. He's going to be very hard to see, then grab, much less tackle. Kids going to tear it up. GT
