The last one that stands out was Chad Jones. LSU seemed to have more than other SEC schools at one time, is that fading? I thought it was good how we would get cross over fans - football fans that followed baseball to see how Chad was doing for example. Coaches going to other sport games to see their player adds to the excitement and I would think helps with recruiting.

You had Jones, Mitchell, and Holiday on the same football team...

Not sure of anyone at the moment.

Don't forget that we had Chris Jackson, the kicker and third baseman.

I think Derrick Raymond runs track. Could be wrong.

Mett throws the hell out of a javelin.

I thought one or two of our speedy outfielders were considering football.

Which position in football? If receiver, may be tough to get on the field.

I believe he was going to walk on as a QB? Decided to stick to baseball. Boxtards can correct me on this.

Jeryl Brazil was one of the nation's top HS sprinters. He even won a national sprinting title or two. I am sure he will be on the T&F team this spring after football season is done.

I forgot about Ware because he quit baseball early on to focus on football.

Was there ever any talk of Mark Laird playing football? I think he was an all-state WR. i know it was a small school but he has speed,hands and height.

Yes, I heard it mentioned during a baseball broadcast, but nothing more.

I would think not. Kid most likely has great hands but his decision to play baseball was probably a good one for him.
