What do we know about Kentravis Aubrey that you can't get just from looking at his profiles at Rivals and Scout. He's about the least-known of LSU's recruits last year. Even those profiles have very little information. There isn't even a 40-time or a bench presson Rivals, though Scout has some info on that. I have almost no info on the guy for a profile. He's like the invisible man.
Perhaps I can try this again. I keep a football blog, and one of the offseason features is that I will profile the 2007 LSU signees. I've gone through about 20 so far, and Kentravis Aubrey is one of the last to do. I'm looking for a hook to talk about with him. Does anyone know anything about him? There is so little chatter about him on the boards or in the media that really nothing is known. The kid is a 4-star but he's a complete mystery. I think that might end up being my hook: Kentravis Aubrey, International Man of Mystery. Have you seen this man?
All I know is that he's a DE that the coaches were really high on. I think he started off as a 3 star & did well in the senior bowl that he played in...

Alright, it's now in my sig. I got into trouble for doing this at another site, but no one has complained about me mentioning my blog on here so far. Oh, and on the actual topic, it has been suggested that one of the reasons Joseph Barksdale was moved to OL was because of how good Aubrey looked at defensive tackle.
When Dandy Don said someone told him Barksdale was being moved to the OL I didn't have a lot of confidence in the rumor, but apparently you know it to be true, right? Did Barksdale play on both defense and offense in high school? I know he was listed on rivals as a DT.
