LSU FOOTBALL 04/06 LSU Spring Practice Notes

Individual drills
  • As we waked in, we saw both Damian Ramos and Aidan Corbello go 3/3 on FG's from 35-45 yards out.
  • First and second team WRs stay the same. Lacy, Hilton and Anderson with the ones, Daniels, Thomas and Parker with the twos.
  • Swann and Collins switched between second and third team reps, but Swann took a little bit more with the twos.
  • DT order today: Jacobian Guillory, Jalen Lee, Shone Washington, Kimo Makane'ole.
  • Punters did not look good today. Lot of shanks and short punts.
  • Zavion Thomas and Kyle Parker took all punt return reps.
Team Drills:
  • Nuss hit Zavion Thomas on a nice deep ball. Probably about 40-45 yards of air.
  • Lacy had an insane toe drag. He was wide open, but Nuss missed him a bit, but he was still able to make a very nice catch on the sideline. He's been very impressive this spring.
  • Zavion Thomas caught a flat route and turned on the burners to beat Jardin Gilbert to the slideline.
  • Sage Ryan, Major Burns, Jardin Gilbert, Ashton Stamps and PJ Woodland ran with the ones on defense.
  • Offensive line looked dominant in the run game. So many big holes for Williams and Jackson to run through. DJ Chester has been really impressive in there as a redshirt freshman.
  • When Swann got on the field, he fumbled the first snap and every other play he ran was a run. Didn't see him throw at all.
  • Kyren Lacy burned Jardin Gilbert on an out route for 20ish yards.
  • Bradyn Swinson would've had a sack on Nussmeier if there was contact. Beat Emery Jones pretty quickly.
  • Harold Perkins came off the edge and got a big sack on Nussmeier for the last play we saw today.
  • Freshman Coen Echols and West Weeks got into a fight after a play. Weeks gave him a little shove after the play and they locked eyes and said something then went at it for a bit. Nothing major, just some shoving. Two plays later, Weeks would've absolutely lit up Malachai Lane on a run play, but it was a light contact drill.
One-on-ones
  • Shelton Sampson cooked JK Johnson on a go route. By the time the ball got to him, he had 5-10 yards of seperation.
  • A few plays later, Kyle Parker did the same thing to Jeremiah Hughes on a go route.
  • Malachai Lane had one of the plays of practice. He mossed Christian Brathwaite on a wheel route 30 something yards down field.
  • Kolaj Cobbins had back-to-back reps where he torched Khayree Lee Jr. First play was bad, he got through him in like half a second.
Injury
  • We saw Da'Shawn Womack go down with a knee injury. He was down for a few minutes and limped off the field. Didn't seem to be major.
  • We also saw Sage Ryan suffer an ankle injury. He was replaced by Jordan Allen. Also didn't seem major.

LSU FOOTBALL 04/06 Brian Kelly Media Availability

  • One of the things that’s stood out to him about Kyren Lacy is his consistency. Said that hadn’t been the case in years past. Thinks he learned a lot from Malik and Brian last year.
  • Thinks Kaleb Jackson has made a lot of strides in learning the game. He understands presnap reads more. They’re trying to manage his work load since they have two scholarship backs.
  • They want to use the run game to set up play action so they can get their QBs outside the pocket and create plays outside.
  • Very pleased with the offensive line and the running backs. Wants the run game to be bigger than it was last year.
  • Says Major Burns has made the biggest strides of anyone in coverage this offseason.
  • Says Trey Holly’s high school coach was at the coaches clinic and came up to him and told him about the charges that were dropped yesterday. He’s continuing to take classes online, so he has his eligibility if everything goes well for him. Says they could see a full resolution as early as mid April.
  • Says if they’re ever required to be on the field for the national anthem, they’ll be out there and stand proud. Says he can count on his hands how many times he’s been out there for the national anthem in 30 years of coaching. Hopes they can get past this soon.
  • They’ve experimented with Bradyn Swinson and Parish Shand inside while putting Da’Shawn Womack and Harold Perkins outside. In terms of stopping the run, Jacobian Guillory has been outstanding. Need to find the other guy.
  • They’re allowed to have mics in their helmets now, and Joe Sloan has been in their ear all spring using it. Says it’s been really good because it allows quick huddles.
  • Says he leaned on Matt LeFleur to help him learn to the helmet mic. Says his biggest worry is when they go out and malfunction.
