Austin Thomas, our general manager, did a tremendous job of organizing the whole day. Talking to a lot of the NFL guys, this has been the best pro day of the whole season, so we’re happy about that.
“Any time we can have the NFL on our campus, it’s a big day for LSU. A couple of guys really stood out and worked out well, but for Jamal Adams to run a 4.33 (40-yard dash), it was a fantastic day for him. Leonard (Fournette) weighing in at 228 pounds, I know a lot of the guys are excited about that. He looked great in his workouts. We’re getting a lot of positive feedback and a lot of guys really love Leonard.
“Malachi Dupre did an excellent job today in his workouts. Davon Godchaux looked big and strong out there. He did a great job in his workouts. It was the first time that scouts have seen Lewis Neal and he did a tremendous job along with Tashawn Bower. Duke Riley continues to impress.

OFFENSE SHINES IN SECOND LSU SPRING
BATON ROUGE – The LSU offense accounted for over 600 total yards, including 391 on the ground, as head coach Ed Orgeron put the Tigers through their second scrimmage of the season here Saturday indoors at the Charles McClendon Practice Facility.
The Tigers were originally slated to scrimmage in Tiger Stadium, however thunderstorms in the Baton Rouge area, which included driving rain, heavy winds and hail, forced LSU indoors.
Saturday’s scrimmage concluded the second full week of spring practice as the Tigers are now seven practices into spring drills.
“We had an excellent day today,” Orgeron said. “We challenged our guys on mindset, physical toughness and energy. If you want to put it all together, we wanted to have a game-type atmosphere out there and we did it. I’m very proud of our football team and our coaching staff. We were very well-prepared and there was a lot of energy and great execution.”
Offensively, senior Danny Etling completed 4-of-10 for 133 yards and a touchdown to D.J. Chark, while rising sophomore Justin McMillan connected on 5-of-6 passes for 79 yards and a TD. Redshirt freshman Lindsey Scott rounded out the quarterback play for the Tigers, completing 2-of-3 passes for 29 yards. Overall, LSU quarterbacks completed 11-of-19 passes for 237 yards a pair of touchdowns.
On the ground, senior Darrell Williams led all rushers with 93 yards and three touchdowns on 20 carries. Nick Brossette followed with 72 yards on 14 carries.
“I thought our offense had a tremendous day,” Orgeron said. “It was an outstanding job. I thought Darrel Williams had a tremendous day and offensive line blocked well. Matt Canada and the offensive staff is doing a tremendous job. This the second scrimmage in a row that they have won.”
Orgeron said that the Tigers have some injuries on the defensive front, which is giving practice and scrimmage snaps to some younger players. Orgeron singled out the play of Rashard Lawrence and Ray Thornton, who both performed well on Saturday.
“We have some work to do on defense,” Orgeron said. “Obviously, we have some injuries up front on defense. Some guys are not practicing, but we need to get better. The offense completed some deep balls on us today, and there are some things we need to fix.”
Orgeron said he’s pleased with the overall progress the Tigers have made through the first seven practices of the spring.
“Overall, I’m really pleased with where we are at this point in the spring on offense,” Orgeron said. “The motion and shifts and the diversion of the offense is great. We had very few penalties today with the referees out there. Our defense has to pick it up a little bit, but I know they will under Dave Aranda.”
The Tigers return to practice on Tuesday in the first of three workouts next week. The Tigers are scheduled to scrimmage in Tiger Stadium next Saturday.
SEC DELIVERS $100,000 CHECK TO LSU FOR FLOOD RELIEF FOR UNIVERSITY EMPLOYEES
BATON ROUGE – The Southeastern Conference delivered a check in the amount of $100,000 to LSU this week to assist University employees who suffered losses during the catastrophic flood that impacted Baton Rouge and surrounding communities last August.
“On behalf of the LSU employees affected by the flood, I wish to thank Commissioner Sankey and the members of the Southeastern Conference their assistance,” LSU President Dr. F. King Alexander said. “Though the flood is several months behind us, it remains very real to the thousands of Louisiana residents who remain in temporary housing with many months of recovery ahead.”
The donation was made to the LSU Employee Assistance Fund, which was established at the request of Alexander in late August to assist those University employees that were affected by the flood.
“We are very appreciative of this generous donation from the SEC,” LSU Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Joe Alleva said. “We are fortunate to be part of a great league that cares about its member institutions in areas that go well beyond competition. This donation will go a long way in helping LSU employees who were impacted by the devastating flood continue to rebuild and restore what was lost last August.”
On making the contribution to the flood relief fund for LSU employees, SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey said, “it’s a privilege of the Conference office to make this donation and we wish the people of Baton Rouge and LSU continued success in their recovery form the devastating floods that occurred in August of 2016.”
