    He will play DB and excel at LSU in that respect.

    The next great cover corner.

    What's that sound?

    The sound of pain dissipating from the loss of Janzen Jackson.

    6'4" cover corner. Has there ever been such a thing? Seems like they're all 6-2 or less. Would create some special problems for the Julio Jones' of the world, fo sho.

    Utah has a corner around that size, but I think he's more of a safety than corner.

    Safety definitely. Can't see him as a corner personally, like LB, height becomes a major problem for CBs. His ball skills are great though. I'm surprised no recruiting service has caught onto this beast yet. That film made him look like he deserved to be in Rivals top 50 and I'm not saying that with bias.

    Now we can all see the dilemma the staff had with deciding whether to let him play offense or defense...both sides wanted him. :LSU231:

    A&M supposedly had him as their #1 Safety, and that's where I expect him to line up for us.

    I thought I read somewhere that Miles wanted to try him at CB first. I think he ultimately ends up at safety too because of his height and natural abilities. It looks like we are getting great safety prospects at about the same rate as DL prospects. Seems like a good trend to continue, Steltz, Landry, Loston, Reid, etc..

    Just out of curiosity, but does anyone know if he pronounces his name in the French style (see-mohn) instead of the British style (Sigh-mun)?
