What’s the name of that 5* LB from the Midwest that cane to LSU and never saw a down?

His name escapes me but he ended up at a JUCO in Arizona iirc. Haven’t heard anything from him since. Believe he wore #3 at LSU

Russell Shepard

He was in the 2009 class, so he wouldn’t qualify.

He was catching passes with the Giants in 2019 until his season ended due to injury. He never lived up to the hype, but he was obviously a talented prospect if he is in the NFL 10 years later.

I don't think he was a bust in college but he was frustrating because he was like another Greg Hardy. When he decided to turn it on he was absolutely unlockable. He would dominate Alabama's offensive line but then would be non-existent against Vandy and Arkansas

Pretty much every 4 star we've had from the 2012-2017 classes except Jerrell Adams, Donnell Stanley, Chris Lammons, Zack Bailey, Javon Kinlaw, and Shi Smith. By my count that's about 35/40 4 star prospects that didn't work out. I may catch shite for Mike Davis but it's the truth.

Jury is still out on 2018 classes and onward, but history is not on their side.

Tray Matthews


For UGA if was thrust into a starting roll and was good but at Auburn he was highlighted but never stood out... same with Shaq Wiggins or the Josh Harvey-Clemmons was good at UGA then was so so at Louisville.

Who was the Auburn lineman that signed with Muschamp was there and never really did anything... he was a real big name.

What’s your definition for a bust, BossBailey345? Fill me in here.

If OP considers Isaiah Crowell, who had a major impact as a freshman, to be a bust then so was Fields.

Only because he couldn’t stay out of trouble. He was great when he was on the field.

Fields was absolutely not a bust. I mean for God’s sake he was a heisman finalist last year.

A lot of you don't seem to know what a bust means.

I don't see anyone mentioning that former Auburn QB Zeke something.
