Kardell Thomas in 104.5 interview says offense has changed a lot

LINK /

Pretty good interview with Jordy and T-Bob.

Cliff notes: Kardell says he’s been doing Moffit’s offseason workouts and dieting. Has lost 35 lbs. Says he is still recruiting the big 5 stars to come to LSU, because he says this team is a team everyone wants to play with because it has “Swag” and is building something good.

LSU pulled out all the stops and heavily impressed the 5 Star Ohio State commit tackle and all of his family this weekend. Kardell talks to him all the time and tells him you have to be a “dog” to be with the new LSU Linemen.

They talk of the Nationwide branding LSU has become. Thomas says his new O-Line coach is legit, knows his stuff, has coached in the NFL and when he was recruited, he was taught things whether or not he came here.

He’s been diving into the playbook, watching practices, watching film and breaking down what each O-Lineman did on each play. He also says how much the offense has changed this year. (Which is pretty much why I wanted to hear the interview)

He’ll be wearing #58 because his dad wore it at LSU and he said it’s a number that is supposed to be with slimmer guys. He may or may not change it to #70 later.

As always, the verdict is out on the offensive changes. We won’t know until Fall, but it’s nice to hear it from someone who’s tasked to learn the new offense with a goal of starting as a true freshman.
