LSU didn't even know about this young man until recently evidently, flew under the radar. Not sure what he did in his first season at HC as a junior but I guess not enough to get noticed. And I'm guessing he didn't attend any major college camps last summer. I wonder if LSU took notice of him while evaluating another player, that has happened many times in the past.
LSU has had their eyes on him for a while but remember he only played one football season. Basketball player previously.

"The first game of the playoffs, we noticed some LSU coaches at the game," Kamlade said. "The next day, we heard that (LSU recruiting coordinator) Frank Wilson was in town and he was at all the schools. Then he called Coach Barry and said 'I've been to every school today and the only place people are telling me to come is here. Who is No. 9?'" "Frank came over and asked me why we hadn't heard about this kid," Barry Wilson said. "We told him about being a basketball player not wanting to play football. Once he looked at the film, Frank said this guy was great. They couldn't believe his size. He's right up there at 6-3, and he's just going to get bigger and better."
