Devonta Lee....where does he play next season?

Will be a junior this coming season. Where does play next season? WR to LB to TE. We are low in both LB and TE.
Seems small for a TE but maybe he’s physical enough in some run blocking. Hopefully can catch the ball, being he played WR in 2019. But I see Kole Taylor, Nick Storz, and potentially incoming freshman Jalen Shead taking most of the snaps due to height/weight.
Wish he could work out at LB. Seemed like an athletic freak out of HS. Could find his way in in a 2 deep rotation with Blake Baker as position coach.

I don't know his exact height and weight, and it's almost 4am so I'm not looking it up. You would hope by yr 3, and with the new staff coming in, that they'll find his true position and he thrives in it. I dont know what he's best at, but if the kid likes to hit and is a little mean, should've been putting on muscle to play D. If you wanma actually touch the ball during a game, and score some TDs, play O.

It’s unfortunate that he hasn’t spent his 3 years solely focusing on playing linebacker because we could really use one of those and I think he has the athleticism to run sideline to sideline and really make an impact there.

Similar to Jacoby Steven's....awesome athlete who moved around a couple years before finding a position.

He just switched from linebacker back to tight end.
I think he needs to be on offense.

Alright. I just hope the guy can eventually make an impact somewhere. If he wants to be on offense, let him play offense.

Sometimes all it takes for a coach to find your true position is for the individual to take control of his own. Play your heart out where ever it is you are put.
I personally believe he’s a LB or in the box type safety. He needs to figure that out just as much if not more than the coaches need to find him a spot. This kid is way too good not to be playing. I’m pretty sure he’s been looked at all over the field. Start showing out on ST’s and find a position then show the coaches your worth. I hope he does soon!

Damn shame that this kid cant find his way on the field, sometimes I wonder if he wants to play at all, no disrespect to the kid either, but I mean damn, this kid has talent, work on one thing really hard and go get some PT

There has to be some position a kid like this can play. Moving him to TE isn’t doing him any favors.

I have to believe the only way he isn’t playing is because he hasn’t learned the playbook or gotten down the technical aspects of the game. He was a man amongst boys in high school that I thought would have an easier time translating to college because he’s so physical. Hopefully he gets on the field soon.

I remember when O said "we got the kid out of Amite we wanted". Well the one we didn't want has won a heismsn and the one we did has not seen the field. That having been said I hope he finds his true position and makes an impact.

That was in reference to Sopsher not Smith.

Right, i was mistaken. Still hope he finds his way, the potential is surely there.
Posted on 2/6/21 at 8:36 am to SA4LSU
Did he even see the field last year?
Posted on 2/6/21 at 8:53 am to tigerrag901
I say put him at TE and find a LB or two in transfer portal.
Posted on 2/6/21 at 9:12 am to tigerrag901
Southern Miss or Tulane

This new defense would be perfect for him. Just like it will be for Damone Clark.
Posted on 2/6/21 at 11:18 am to tigerrag901
He will still be a sophomore this year won’t he? So has 3 more yrs in the program to “get it”.

He’s trying out WR again. Probably one last shot before he moves on.
