    Woods, a 6'8" 300+ lb dt from Elton will report to practice tomorrow, as per KPLC-TV in Lake Charles. Any word about the other freshmen who were waiting?

    Tiger Rag sources confirmed that Elton defensive tackle Al Woods has been cleared by the NCAA Clearinghouse. Woods is the first of four pending LSU freshmen that were cleared by the NCAA. Running backs Keiland Williams and Richard Murphy and offensive lineman Steven Singlton await word from the Clearinghouse.

    Woods, a 6-5, 325-pound defensive tackle from Elton High School, recived word this afternoon and will arrive at LSU soon.

    I thought 6'8 sounded a little tall. It seems like I remember him being in the 6'4 to 6'5 range.

    If you look at our depth at DT & consider how many play in a game, I don't think he'll redshirt even with all the time he's missed.

    that's not what Miles implied at Media Day, but one can never tell... I personally hope Al gets to play a little

    one of my buddies had to talk to him 1-1 for a story, and he said that unless they showed up in great shape, they would all redshirt, or play 4-5 games into the season once they caught up

    Al has a tremendous work ethic, though, so he may come in and be fine
