Probably saw more playing time here and I'm 100% okay with that. Big time player at a huge position of need.

Yeah that's an understatement bama probably has 7 or 8 top guys battling for playing time at the Lb positions. LSU barely any depth . I expect he may start 1st game.

over Bama


Hadn't heard a thing about us talking to this kid or any other LB. Did he visit either of us?

Either way, seems like a solid pickup.

Well considering he didn't have an offer from Alabama, nor visited Tuscaloosa, I'd say the claim is suspect at best.

He had an offer and was brought in by bama in the last week for an official visit.

VIP article but I will quote

visited bama

The 6-foot-1, 227-pound Speights made an official visit to Alabama after going into the transfer portal late last week and then went to LSU.

Since you missed out on Omar, you just took a backup linebacker from Georgia that has a total of 30 tackles over 4 years

Finally found someone from the Alabama side to confirm Speights' visit:

quote:

Oregon State transfer Omar Speights made a quick trip to Tuscaloosa last weekend and the Tide decided to pass with the intention of focusing on Marshall who they felt good about and had higher on their wish list. Speights ended up at LSU.


Congrats on the pickup.
