LSU is looking at the Newman prospect on both sides of the ball and my early prediction is he will end up as a CB at LSU. His father played RB for LSU in the late 80's and early 90's and his mother is currently a track coach at Tennessee but ran track at LSU in college. His step father also coaches track at Tulane. Odell Jr was is attendance for the UF game this year when his father was honored at halftime. Ronnie Vinson was his teammate at Newman as well. 5'11 170 4.4 Early interest from LSU, Tenn, UCLA, TCU, CU, etc... He attended the Mini Junior day and will likely commit sometime in the very near future. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-9EeQuXdlE[/media]
Re: 2011 CB/WR Odell Beckham Jr. In the games I saw of him he looked like the better player out of him and Vinson.
Re: 2011 CB/WR Odell Beckham Jr. They all look so small! And I don't like the new helmets, they don't look right without the stripes.
Re: 2011 CB/WR Odell Beckham Jr. for those that dont know, odell sr was part of the friday night lights story. he lit up Permian.
Re: 2011 CB/WR Odell Beckham Jr. TigerRag - RECRUITING UPDATE: Odell Beckham I see him as a CB but he is going to want a chance at WR and therefore expect him to come to LSU as an ATH.
Trai Turner mentioned or might have slipped up by saying Odell is or will be a Tiger. Either way he will be in his ear and that is a great thing because he is tearing up the camp circuit right now. Will probably take Odell as an ATH and let him try out WR 1st. But hopefully earlier playing time at CB entices him to switch. Great WR but even better CB IMO.
Keep an eye on Ronnie Martin out of SC. Just offered and could be a commit by June 6th. The 1st summer camp. Super fast and I will start a thread on him later but got to run.
