2 More Commits...Baker and Prater!

TigerBait3 · Jul 31, 2007

With one day left in the month of July, LSU increased its football commitment total by two to 14 and addressed the area of outside linebacker in the process.
Committing to the Tigers were Kyle Prater of Tivy High School in Kerrville, Texas, and Ryan Baker of Blountstown, Fla.
Prater, 6-foot-2, 215 pounds with 4.5-second speed in the 40-yard dash, is rated as the No. 50 outside linebacker prospect in the nation by rivals.com while Baker, 6-2, 210 pounds with 4.55 speed, is ranked No. 53.
Prater, recruited by linebackers coach and special teams coordinator Bradley Dale Peveto, chose LSU from a final threesome that included Oklahoma and Nebraska. He comes from a family that has produced three generations of college football players. His older brother John was a linebacker at Wyoming this past season. His father John played football at Kansas and his grandfather John Sr. played at Oklahoma State.

Re: LB Ryan Baker Commits

With the new offense we are going to run perhaps he can play both LB and part-time FB. Isn't a true FB type going to be used more sparingly in this offense?

That's a good point. And even in the times there are 2 players in the backfield, with all the TE's we've signed, some of those should be/could be used as "H-backs" which would allow for more playing time among the TE's.
