Anyone know if Armand has the highest vertical on the team?


I would guess easily.


Kid has like a 6'8" wingspan and can jump out the gym. State champ long and high jumper if I'm not mistaken. He is a perfect jump ball threat if he can get more consistent hands.

I sat next to his family at the spring game. Good family support and they really are proud of him. He came over after the game and visited them. btw, all of them were well spoken

I met him back at the Open practice for students a couple of weeks back.....that guy is hilarious


real down to Earth, I'm hoping he can snatch the 4th or 5th WR spot behind OBJ, Jarvis, Boone/Wright, and Paul Turner


We stacked!!!

So sorry, I didn't realize you were the coolest fricker on tigerdroppings.



It's amazing that you can't even post one comment about meeting a player without some a-hole coming to flame

At last year's Taste of Tiger Tailgating event, Armand and Josh Downs came and visited our Army Recruiting Booth for about 15 minutes. While they were having small talk with the recruiters, I became impressed with how well mannered, articulate, and respectful these young men were.
Just before they left, a younger white girl walks up with a much older white lady. The younger goes up to Downs and the older lady to Williams. Once they all left, I recall us all thinking it was an odd grouping. After reading article posted in the link, I recognize the older white lady in that photo as the lady who walked up to Armand. Great story and I wish him success both on and off the field.

they have a really good article in lsu's legacy magazine about him. He is on the cover of it and the article talks about his time spent with the family and the time just before that in his life. It is really good and I would recommend reading it. The website is down but their all over campus.

How legit is this on Armand? I keep hearing it but the times I've seen him (practice films) he seems to have good hands.

One of my real good buddies family took him in. He still talks to Armand all the time. Hope he has an awesome season because he definately deserves it.
