He decommitted from us and went to LSU. Interest?

I'm a Katy Homer. Loved Echols at the 6A level. He's struggled mightily at lsu. But I would give him a look if he's willing to move to center.

Agreed but he was a road grader at Katy. Jimbo wanted him at center and he wanted to play guard or tackle. He's 6'3" on a good day. Would make a hell of a center if he's willing to make the move.

to me no stone unturned. if he comes at the right price and attitude maybe he is a fit. we will need at least 3 starter type players not sure he falls into that category just yet. but at the right price and willingness to move to center he could be a good backup and future starter after next season. may also offer some positional options in a pinch.

In fairness to him, LSU's OL (and entire offense) was terrible. I don't believe he was put in a position to be successful, and I also don't believe he received proper coaching.

His older brother (cornerback) transferred to LSU from Texas Wesleyan as a walk-on, and talking to the family it sounds like they are a package deal. Older brother didn't play much but he did contribute on special teams.

Have you notified Elko yet?

"Redshirt freshman started 12 games at LG this season and excelled as a pass blocker, earning a 70.6 pass block grade, per PFF. He only allowed 2 sacks and was called for 0 penalties"

Dude didn't allow a sack all season as a freshman, so there's that to look forward to.

Yeah but he's young with SEC experience. This is a win

This might be a crazy concept for some of y'all to understand, but generally RS freshmen don't play well at OL. OL is the one position where experience, age, and strength are some of the most important factors at the college level. In this era where every SEC team has 22 to 23 year old dudes all over the DL, 19 year old kids are going to struggle to block them.

RC used to say that o lineman was the most difficult position on the field to develop.
