Not recruiting related, but former Ruston High great killed.

Sad couple of days..........


Thoughts and prayers with the family.

I remember watching him play at RHS back in the day and i'm telling you, that guy was an amazing player. They finished the season #1 in the nation in '90.

rip that 1990 team was the greatest louisiana team ever.roymon malcolm reminded me of eric dickerson.my prayers are sent to the family.

He did sign with Auburn straight out of high school, mostly because LSU was horrid at the time, and he beat out Stephen Davis to be the starter but then blew out his knee. He recovered and was again on top, but another knee injury came, so he finally transferred to Northwestern to be closer to home as he rehabbed. Narcotic issues derailed that plan. Sad situation from a great player who was on an awesome team in '90, that beat Catholic with Warrick Dunn either 52-10 or 52-14 in the dome.

Wow, sad stuff

He was one of the best RBs I saw play in high school. Dickerson-esque is accurate. My brother was the fullback at Neville during those days and he to this day says Malcolm was easily the best player he's ever seen and played against...and he played against Kordell Stewart and some other great players.

Damn, I remember him. That 1990 Ruston team was probably the greatest LA high school football team ever.

I still say WM around the turn of the century was the best I saw.. Bradie James and Co. was the best defense I've seen on a high school team

i was at that midland tx and west monroe game in the rain.west monroe won 36-8.but ill tell you after covering hs football since 1986 that ruston was the best louisiana has had.evangel and west monroe can argue and now john curtis can with the team that beat hoover but ill say ruston hands down.

yes, that's right. Like you and LSUDad, I was at that game too. I think Cedric Benson had one run early in the game for about 40 yds then was totally shut down by that Rebel D

The Curtis team that beat Hoover would not have been nearly as good without McKnight

Evangel always had some great offensive systems and QBs running them...always had average Ds. WM always had average offenses and good Ds. But that year they had a monster defense with multiple good players and a good offense to match with some solid playmakers
