Ashton Tyler Commits To Louisiana

[ulforlife]

after reading the ESPN review it seems the kid has athletic ability and size he just needs work on fundamentals. If brad bustle can start for UL (did not start in highschool), this guy can learn and be a big help. You can't teach a kid to grow 6'6" but you sure can give him pointers. I'll take him!!!

Hello, Dave?? Mr Obama says we have 57 states, right? Lets say we have approx 110 football playing highschools in each state(probably alot more, but just for comparisons sake lets say 110). 110 X 57 =6270 football playing schools. Each school has a center, 2 guards, 2 tackles= 5 o-linemen (starters) 5 X 6270 =31,350 o-linemen in the USA Our guy is ranked #202 by ESPN.....Dave, I'll take him.

  As a younger brother, Higgins offensive guard Ashton Tyler can attest to the value of being No. 1, even if only temporarily.

Tyler became the first prospect to verbally commit to Louisiana’s 2009 recruiting class during an unofficial visit to the Acadiana campus on Saturday to see UL’s Sun Belt Conference leaders defeat Florida International at Cajun Field.

Tyler is the second member of his family to have the opportunity to play college football. His older brother Kermit was an All-Metro offensive lineman, who now is a freshman at Ole Miss after signing with the Rebels in February.

Tyler, 6-foot-6, 275 pounds, said he actually chose UL-L earlier last week, but followed the advice of Ragin’ Cajuns assistant Tim Rebowe and waited to reveal his decision until after he had delivered the news in person to Coach Rickey Bustle following the 49-20 victory against FIU.

We know that several "local" prospects are holding UL scholarship offers.

There's always chatter about UL signing more "local" players, so why don't they commit to the Cajuns?

That's a great question. I have always been a bit suspicious about all of the grumbling about why we don't sign more local players. No. 1, look at the rosters - we DO have a LOT of locals. No. 2, road blocks at some of the local schools. No. 3, many young men want to check out schools outside the area ("the grass is always greener ..." syndrome).
