247 Sports is reporting that 2015 RB David Ducre from Mandeville has committed to LSU as a FB. Scout and BBI reporting it as well. He's ranked as the #1 FB in the nation per 247 and is the Tigers' eighth commitment for 2015. Welcome to Tiger Town David. http://louisianastate.scout.com/2/1376884.html http://lsu.247sports.com/
Guys like this are so important. FB's Long Snappers, kickers, etc. They aren't sexy from a rating stand point, but these guys are important contributors.
So true, every class we get specialist that might not appear real sexy but tend to be major contributors to our success. FB'S, blocking TE's, place kickers, punters and long snappers are so important to the program. I'll go on record now and predict Ducre becomes one of the fan favorites in the future.
If you watch his film, the kid has some wheels on him at his current weight of 225 lbs. I think he's going to be more than just your average LSU FB. He shows some catching ability as well as some speed. He's pulling away from DBs downfield. He might not have elite speed, but he's running faster than someone his size should be running.
LSU has a good history of rewarding the hardnosed pile pushers. I look forward to seeing this guy get his.
