If Pop ends up 6'2", with his arm, accuracy and mobility and ethic, he'll be the next Heisman winner from LSU.

But… is he really just 5’ 10” tall ??

The current lineup has him at 6'0" .

He's still a junior. My younger son started his junior year at 5'6". He graduated at 6"1" and finished growth at 6'2".

If he only grows an inch, he'll be taller than 3 starting NFL QBs.

Your analysis was 100 percent.

Haven strikes me as a kid who wants to go OOS. It'll take a pretty big NIL to keep him home.

Houston would come to LSU in a heartbeat if we made a serious push. Personally, I like him better than Haven.

Colton is the most ready to play. And while not a dual threat QB, his game reminds me of Josh Allen, sneaky fast.

That 8/11 broadcast had U2 and Judas Priest. Mightve been their best show since March. LOL.

He's rated in the 400s for top HS players 2026. While expected to move up some, combine him with draft eligible college players, and he's probably no higher than 8th round. Top 5 rounds I'm concerned... after that NIL makes it interesting.

My son was too small for football at 5'7" as a junior in HS. A year after graduation, he was 6'2".

If this kid does get to be 5'10" or 6'0", he'll be on everyone's wish list. Better not sleep on this.

Our RB room is young. I'd be surprised if they signed any RB in the 26 class.

The 27 class lists Jayden Miles and Braylon Calais as top two in-state RBs. But Calais will NEVER play back. He's from my hometown... fast, smooth route runner, 6'2" , high jumper to the ball... IMO the best wide receiver prospect from LA since Jamar Chase. That means a true #2 back will have to emerge in 27... or it's OOS or portal.

If you read some of the non-LSU recruiting notes, this looks like a $$$ bag recruitment. Not to say that LSU won't pony up, or even pony up big, but I expect this to be a tough battle.

I just hope we don't play this out too long and low ball, because the 27 class is loaded with high quality QBs.

Any chance he could come back for a 5th year?

Just looked at a mock draft. Several LSU commits are in the 125 to 175 range. Slot values around $600k to $400k. Go to LSU, get some decent money (not as much sure), become a state hero, go into the insurance business and make that much money in 4 years. Or go play pro ball after college and do that for awhile and still get a signing bonus. Either way, I'd much rather have NIL and the college experience than more money (unless it's significant) and mire in the A and AA circuit.
