    6'6" 300 lb DT JUCO player

    Shows interest in Arizona, LSU, Oregon, Purdue, S. Florida, Tennessee, Washington

    Not sure if we will offer him. The interesting part is LSU trying to possibly land another Wroten that can come in early and contribute, especially with all the D-linemen we will lose these next 2 seasons.

    Akiem Hicks

    One web site has announced 4 star linebacker Akiem Hicks has committed to LSU. Not much more information than that. He is a junior college prospect out of Sacramento City Community College, Sacramento, CA. Has anyone heard anything?

    He's a Defensive Tackle, actually. 6-6 295 and runs around a 4.9. Thats kind of Tyson Jackson-like.

    Looks like a pretty good pickup..should help fill that big class gap between upperclassmen and the young guys for now.

    He's built like Tyson Jackson from his listed numbers..should be a solid pickup and help fill the gap until the young guys are ready to step in.

    You're right. He is a DT. Sorry.

    Great pickup and a guy worthy of celebration.

    Followed this guy for the past few months and he looks like a legitimate threat to step right onto the field at LSU. Some say he is the best DT/DE JUCO combo in the country.

    Still room for another DE and DT is the opportunity presents itself. Dye is the other I am feeling good about landing on the Dline.
