Why didn't Bobby Hebert play for LSU?

I'm listening to him right now and just wonder why he didn't play for the Tigers?

Did Arnsparger even recruit him?

I think it was a test score. He originally committed to LSU.

(I've seen various things reported - and it would have been Mac - Hebert graduated from South Lafourche in 1978 or 79.)

Eff you

I love Bobby.

Bobby originally had one offer to Nicholls State, but he received an offer from Nothwestern late in the process.You are wrong about his grade issue. Grades were never a problem.

LSU saw John Fourcade as their must have qb in that class, and evidently they didn't have a back up plan when Fourcade went to Ole Miss.

true man he's like way better than those squares hanging out at the soda fountain.

It wasn't grades. Terry Bradshaw was grades. LSU went after another QB.....I thought Mickey Guidry.

Woodley and Ensminger were the QB's in 78-79...

I've heard Bobby say a couple of time on the air that LSU recruited him to play DB, but he want to play QB. That's why he didn't come here.
But he's drunk 90% of the time he's on the air, so it could just be a bunch of bullshite.

He was never recruited by LSU not seriously anyway and was never a committ

Bobby was not the qb until the second or third game of his sr year

And there were many other qb rated way above him

Mafhouz, Wilcox, Risher, prudhomme, McCann, fourcade

And I think a couple of others, maybe caldarera from lutcher

I dont think this was it at all

And Bobby has rambled on about it as a commentator, but I may be getting the stories mixed up - I know his father (Bobby, Sr.) is a huge LSU fan.

It's a reminder of how crazy the LSU QB situation was from the late 60s through the late 70s. Joe Ferguson and Bradshaw both played for Woodlawn, just a couple of years apart, though I hear conflicting stories about whether they were on the team at the same time.

So, you had a situation in 1980 where the starting QBs for a significant number of NFL teams were Louisiana kids, Bradshaw at Pittsburgh, Ferguson (albeit his Louisiana credentials are suspect) at Buffalo, Bert Jones at Baltimore, Doug Williams at Tampa and Woodley at Miami. 28 teams, that's about 18 percent.
