    He has good size 5'10" 170lbs (could grow some more) and from what I hear is really fast. He is only playing the first half of most games because WM is blowing everyone out. His stats look really good for the amount of touches he is getting.

    What's the low down on him? Will he be a Tiger in 09?

    If he is a senior, no he won't be a Tiger unless he walks on. This is the first I've heard of him. Although, if he is a junior, I'm sure our staff is well aware of him and will be watching him next year.

    He was at 2a last year and dominated. I hear that now he is playing against the big dogs he isnt doing as good.

    He's a 2009 guy. My preliminary understanding is that he's a D1 athlete, but if he wants to play QB or RB, it won't be at LSU. It could be a Pat White type situation where he has to decide if he wants to play corner at LSU or a more glamorous position at a lesser program.

    He's a junior and his drop off in production can be attributed to the fact he is playing new positions rather than playing with "the big dogs". He is adjusting just fine IMO.
    For the question of will he be a Tiger? Not so sure I would count on that happening (based on his size), but if you want a diamond in the rough...keep an eye out for Barkavious Mingo...he is going to be a stud.

    Thanks guys!

    I figured if he grew an inch and put on 15 or so lbs he would he would be some one to look at next year. I really expect him to put up big numbers as a senior.

    I see where he is listed as a CB prospect next year. They have him listed at 5' 10" 177lb and 4.4 speed. I think he can make it as a corner.

    If he wants to play corner, my understanding is that he will likely be a 6.0 or 5.9 rated 4-star.
