Well if there were tons of walk-ons out there with All American talent, they probably wouldn’t be walk-one in the first place.

The fact is that walk-ons can help. You don’t have to win a Hiesman and go #1 overall in the draft to be a contributor.

I know the young man very well, my daughter went to Parkview with Alex and they where friends. I have seen Alex play football for the past couple years and he has been a guest at our home numerous times, and he is great young man with a ton of talent and determination. Will he ever contribute at QB for LSU? I wouldn’t bet against him dogs

Which means he threw about 7 passes in high school. Sweet pick up.

Miles would have given him a scholarship.

I studied his film on YouTube, took me about 2 minutes but I could definitely see this kid was criminally underrated by the biased star system, hidden gem for sure

Any of our WR's play QB in HS? Any big enough to run a wildcat?
