Found it very interesting that according to the head coach of Butler HS in NC that LSU offered him as a freshman.

He is one of the backups for Christian Lemay who is committed to UGA.

Not that common for LSU but it is also a case that these verbal offer tidbits about freshman and sophomores are hard to come by.

I think these offers are going to become more and more common across the country.
