Being reported now that DE Lewis Neal has committed to LSU. Commit #19. Welcome to Tiger Town Lewis! http://louisianastate.scout.com/ http://247sports.com/Article/Lewis-Neal-commits-to-LSU-79681
Good pickup. What position is he going to play at LSU ? Is he going to move to LB at 6'1 239 lbs ? I would think that is to short to play DE.
Rush End sounds good to me. We have a ton of LB'ers, I look for a move from that spot. You never know with this staff. I'm sure they have a plan.
We have some big names left on the board too. I agree, I think he'll be very careful from here on out.
Neal is underrated IMO. And has anyone noticed what the guy bench presses or seen his arms close up. First, he bench presses according to Rivals 350 lbs in 21 repetitions. For comparsion, Vanderdoes bench presses like 300 lbs. And a recent interview with Neal, he says he is close now to 400 pounds in bench pressing. His squats are about the same as other OL and DL which of course tells us I think that his lower body strength is fine but his upper body strength is off the charts. You also see it in the video where he is able to discard the blockers. This guy should be rated higher than he is right now and I think he will move up.
