    That may be, however if you play two sports and one of them is football then you HAVE to be on a football scholly. ie you can't play baseball on a baseball scholly and also be on the football team. Bhelm, you care to clear this up?

    I am fairly positive you are correct. As I remember it, Bear Bryant was famous for having kids on all sorts of other sports scholarships and was the impetus for the rule change to what you described.

    Don't follow track much and sure hope the he comes to LSU with his sister, but Texas AM, Arkansas & Florida are ranked even higher than LSU in men's track.

    Devery and Trindon and if Brown signs were or will all be on football scholarships as many said above.

    Brown is looking very good to LSU and even before his sister committed. Texas as of now looks like the biggest competition but he will be getting interest from many top programs.

    The 2014 LSU class has lots of potential.

    yea, don't you love the possibilities! it could be like reloading, but with double barrel. i mean, at several of the most important positions, along with some recruits we've gotten with this last class. the possibilities look sweet, to say the least.

    Wikipedia is wrong, that isn't correct, he was always a football player at LSU. He was a RB his first two years and had a very good Sugar Bowl against the Illni. As others have already stated you must be on a football scholarship if you play the sport and receive a grant in aid. Someone should fix that statement on Wiki.

    I know he was always a football player, my brother played with him in high school so we followed him pretty close, what i was saying was he actually came to lsu on a track scholarship, then tried out for football, made it, then was issued a football scholarship.
