Happy to see this kid showing out, with all the adversity he's been through after losing his mom.

Geralds in 4 starts: 13 tackles, 4 TFLs, 3 sacks, 1 FF
Geralds vs A&M: 5 tackles, 2 TFLs, 1 sack of Marcel Reed

That kid is awesome! He's going to be a force.

Has a lot of energy and doesn't quit.



He's not as big but he reminds me of Wroten or Nevis. Very disruptive to the opponent.

Credit to dad for raising a fine young man. Most kids would’ve spiraled downhill after losing a parent.

The dad is a stand up man. Praise to raising one hell of a Tiger!

Have we ever had a better true Fr DL than him? He is a wrecking ball.

Going to be? This young man is already a force. He is what you get when you combine talent with lunch pail / motor never stops effort.

I can sympathize with him and know exactly what his Dad is saying. My mom died when I was 6 from breast cancer. Even as a little kid that sudden dose of reality was eye opening. It made me mature and grow up immediately.

Lost my dad at 6 - 59 years later it’s still crushing. There is no getting over it- just time to live with it.

I had the privilege of watching Deuce in high school for one game. Collins Hill played my Alma Mater Lowndes High in the first round of the playoffs. After the game I told my boys that LSU is getting a great one!

In the playoffs he played both ways as a FB on offense so he wore down during the game. However, when he wanted to go on defense, the O Line had to double or triple team him. I noticed then he was so quick off the ball and the playoff game was in November 2025!!

Exciting times ahead for this kid and his family!!

He is going to be so damn good next season and the year after. He has great quickness/twitch and has great leverage and strength for a freshman. Really impressive. He has gotten better with each and every game.

That sack looks like Reed got hit in the legs with a baseball bat, but it was really Geralds' arm. Dude has incredible strength.

Booger and Dorsey are in the conversation, but yes Geralds as of today is the most dominant I’ve seen.

Focus on good stuff we have going on instead of injuries.

Great motivation for rest of the team.
Glad this kid is on our team.

I'm still confused as to which of his two sacks they took away? He definitely seemed to have two in a short span.
