Who is trying to find negatives. What I’m reading is that some folks are saying it’s not Dez’s style to offer NIL and an automatic starting role to someone who is not currently in the program.
I hope Walker Howard comes in and becomes an All American. But if Beale is better than him in camp, then I hope Beale is the All American.
This is exciting news, but some might have etched memories of the annointing of Anthony Jennings not really panning out.
Different times, different coach, different staff.

Story from the Anthony Jennings days. We played at ULM the final game of the season in 2016 in the rain. Cajuns won 30-3. Neither team could pass the ball much because of the weather. In addition, all 2-3k fans at the game were crowded up under the overhang on the home side. I think the ULM fans were sufficiently fed up with the Cajun fans by the end of the game. My buddy was celebrating after, and a ULM fan wanted to fight him and kept saying we only won because of our “LSU reject” QB. We were like, “buddy…he threw for about 30 yards.” I’ve seen some fun games in that stadium.
You know, as word of this gets out, it may attract a few other great players.
Remember that game well.
Truth be told, a little talent and stability at QB really helped that year. Didn't care where it came from. QB room was a mess after Broadway (also a transfer, btw) graduated. Jennings had a similar skillset and that helped us at least get back to a bowl game in 2016.
If this kid wants to be a Cajun and he can contribute to the cULture. Then give him a shot.
