LSU head coach Ed Orgeron said Thursday that junior college transfer defensive tackle Travonte Valentine has been moved to third-team behind junior Greg Gilmore and true freshman Ed Alexander. Per The Advocate:
quote:
Alexander, a highly touted rookie out of St. Thomas Aquinas, played several series in the win over Southern Miss while coaches purposely sat junior college transfer Travonte Valentine. Valentine did not practice well enough leading up to the win over the Golden Eagles, and he's still behind, Orgeron said.
“He’s a little bit behind in his technique," the coach said. "Ed Alexander is ahead of him. Right now, he’s on the third team. A lot of times, the third-team guys don’t get a lot of reps. If so, he may get some reps, but I see (starter) Greg Gilmore and Ed Alexander getting more reps than him.”
