Is it time for Ducre to be given a look at possible LB spot entering Jr season?

Ducre is a special player, but he is caught in an awkward spot at RB.

At FB, he is behind returning Sr JD Moore and returning Jr Bry'Kiethon Mouton. He seems to be in a log jam, despite coming out of HS rated as the #1 FB in the country (by 247)

At RB, he is firmly behind Guice, Williams and Brossette (who has always entered the game ahead of Ducre in "trash time"), and maybe Akers or another incoming freshman.

As a returning Jr, that presents this question, especially since LSU has its biggest needs for 2017+ at the LB position.

I'd love to see Canada, Juluke and Orgeron give Ducre a chance to crack the lineup at FB or RB, but realistically, is he going to get a real chance in his upcoming Jr year behind Moore and Mouton and the slew of high caliber RB's? Probably not.

That would mean he would be relying on beating out Mouton and any other roster additions for his Sr year and last chance to get his shot to shine.

Has he somehow gotten buried in the doghouse, or just has not impressed the right coaches?

Yes, converting to LB is far from trivial, but could he get some work at both spots to see how it goes? He is smart, fast and physical, so Aranda could perhaps condition him into a mean LB?

He is such a good kid and talent, it seems that it would be worth a shot, and better than the risk of him continuing to be playing behind so many who have gotten ahead of him in the crowded backfield.

Thoughts?
