OL Chris Faulk

According to one of those links above, he's the first in 27 years. Still, that's pretty much a whole generation.

Faulk became the first player in Northshore’s 27 years to commit to LSU to play football.

Okay...off subject but I was curious.

Slidell's four high schools and their first graduating classes.

Faulk at practice yesterday:

 

Is that an official collegiate football? It looks like a miniature toy in his hand! Some guys fudge their size, but Chris must be as big as advertised.

 

That's funny. I had to go back and look, and sure enough, you are right.

This is what they wrote about Faulk after Monday's practice:

ASSETS: Is very athletic and has the ability to play several positions along the offensive line.

AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT: Seems a bit top-heavy would like to see him add some lower body mass.

WHAT WAS MOST IMPRESSIVE IN PRACTICE: He looked very adept at pulling on trap plays while at offensive guard.

CONCLUSION: Really has the size and effort level required too make a splash early in Baton Rouge. If he can pick up the offensive scheme he should make the two-deep chart by fall.
