    Re: Drayton Calhoun commits to LSU

    Drayton is a great football player and young man. He's a huge pick up. I coach here in Geogia and know a couple of guys on Tucker's staff. They seem to think that he'll play in the secondary.

    As for the Davis kid from Tucker, he's the best player in the state -- a great RB & LB. He's a Katrina kid from New Orleans. He's only about 5-8 or so, but he's an incredible athlete. He will have grade issues though. I would not expect LSU to offer because of his size and grades.

    Whatever Calhoun is, he isn't a RB at LSU. He's either a slot WR or CB.

    Re: Drayton Calhoun commits to LSU

    He looks very thin and is listed as 6 foot 175 lbs. He is fast, but not exceptionally fast. Does anyone know if he played CB in highschool or at least worked out for us at CB? All I see is his RB stats. He must be a good athlete because he has a lot of big time SEC schools interested. It is kind of interesting that we accepted him, but told Conner to wait--unless of course we saw Calhoun play CB. With Calhoun being so thin I don't see any other place for him but CB because we are getting top flight WR's that have experience at the position.

    He's 175 lbs, not 120.

    Fairly consistent build for a DB or a very shifty wideout.

    Re: Drayton Calhoun commits to LSU

    CSTV.com has this kid rated as a SUPER PROSPECT, akin to rivals 5 star

    Also on the ESPN Top 150 to watch list

    Re: Drayton Calhoun commits to LSU

    The picture I saw is probably not current, but as I said he looks thin. No not 120 lbs, but what I am saying is his build would make it likely that he would be more suitable for CB especially since we seem to have no problem in recruiting highly rated WR's. Again, the question then is has anyone seen him play CB?

    Re: Drayton Calhoun commits to LSU

    Thanks, great news to boost our confidence. Since rivals and scout didn't rate him early as a 5 star, the best he gets is probably a 4 star now. Like I said earlier, he had a good list of possible offers already and that is a good sign.
