Walker Howard to Louisiana

[Geaux]

Yeah, Braden played for four schools in five years. Maryland, Louisiana, Akron, and Tennessee-Martin.

Didn't record a single stat.

We need a kicker next year. kenny was a dude.

Does mcneese state have a grad school?

I know one of the big things Des looks for in transfers is if they are a locker room fit attitude wise. If the kid is willing to come here knowing he has to earn the job and that NIL dollars will be minimal to none, I would think he gets the green check for personality fit. Regardless of whether or not he gets the job, this could only be a plus for UL with real competition coming in to push what many believe to be the future of the program in Beale.

[CAJUNSby90]

100% agree.

It's amazing how so many "big time" local players look for greener pastures in far away lands when, many times, the greenest pasture is already right here under their feet!

I have no problem with the “big time” players trying their hand at the highest level of play in college football. I just don’t want to hear the whining from fans of a certain local school when we don’t offer Southland walk-on caliber guys. UL doesn’t owe every player on your team a scholarship just like your stars don’t owe UL a commitment. Now if UL doesn’t offer an FBS caliber player, it’s a different story.

So Beale was a red shirt freshman this year.
Beale will still have 4 years of eligibility.
Howard will have 3 years of eligibility left, if he red shirted his Freshman year at LSU.
History has shown that we need two good QB's to make it through a season for a while now. Great to have both and if Beale does get beat out he can still work towards his senior year to start here, but who know if Howard would even stay here after one year starting. He may transfer out yet again!

Beale is a true freshman. He could play the rest of the season and would still be classified as a RS Freshman next season with 4 years of eligibility.

Info is correct on WH. My understanding is that this will be a good thing for us to build on. All I'm willing to discuss at this point. Welcome home.

Is he bringing friends?

[CajunT]

He will be your starting QB for the next two seasons barring injury. I don't need "Rivals" to tell me that. It's not like UL is a quarterback factory. Be glad he's coming. We got lucky.

I'm not anti-Howard, LSU or STM, but what exactly has he accomplished at this point to suggest he is the dude? I watched the Ole Miss Spring game on the SEC network, and he wasn't exactly lighting it up. I understand he signed with LSU and transferred to Ole Miss, but how many snaps in an actual game has he played at 21 years old. I'm not saying he doesn't have ability, but I will wait to see what he actually looks like in the spring.

Actually, the last two QBs were pretty highly rated in their QBR. Not saying they were Heisman caliber, but they were in the top third of Div. 1 QBs.

The kid competed against the best of the best in the 2021 Elite 11 competition and more than held his own. Don't think Jamie paid for this accomplishment.
