The Entire 2012 Recruiting Class  

Top 5 LSU Recruits To Care About
Player writeups by Scout.com

1. CB Derrick Raymond
6-0, 166, Scout.com 13th ranked, four-star cornerback. Raymond is corner with a nice blend of size, speed, and flexibility. He has long arms, so that is a plus right away. He also has speed, pure speed and that shows out of his breaks and when he is in recovery mode. He is a little light and he needs to play with more physicality, but his body will continue to develop and that will come. He is a cover guy first who can make plays.

2. LB Kwon Alexander
6-2, 210, Scout.com 3rd ranked, four-star outside linebacker. Alexander tore his ACL early in his senior season, so he will be coming off injury when he gets to college, but before that, he was one of the best at his position. He can play sideline to sideline and he is very good in space. When he tackles, he tackles with force, and he tackles through the opponent. He still needs to gain weight, get bigger, and fill out physically. Speed, agility, and play-making skills are there.

3. TE John Thomas
6-5, 245, Scout.com 3rd ranked, four-star tight end.

4. OG Vadal Alexander
6-6, 310, Scout.com 11th ranked, four-star guard. Alexander is a strong offensive lineman who could play guard or tackle on the next level. He may be best on the inside, but he is versatile. He is a good drive blocker, he does a good job with hand placement, and he keeps his feet under him nicely. He can improve his flexibility, his feet in pass protection, and his pad level off the ball. Guard is where Scout sees his most upside.

5. DE Danielle Hunter
6-4, 220, Scout.com 14th ranked, four-star defensive end. As a junior, Hunter showed that he had the raw upside to be one of the most highly recruited defensive linemen in the state, and he built on that his senior season, becoming much more of a complete defensive lineman. He is extremely quick off the ball and is relentless, whether he is making a play in the backfield or chasing plays 20 yards down field. It is scary to think what he will turn in to down the road when he gets to college.

The 2012 Class Was Heavy On... Quarterback. Zach Mettenberger was the key pickup last year after transferring from Georgia, but the Tigers need more talents in the stable for depth and more options. However, that doesn’t appear to be coming. Upgrading the defensive front seven is a bit of a must, and Les Miles is bringing in a solid group of linebackers that should shine in a few years. This is a good looking class, but it might not be a special one.

Team Concerns For 2012: The offensive line. Three starters are gone from a group that dominated everyone but Alabama. After years of loading up on the defensive front, and with last year’s class focusing on the passing game, this year some reinforcements for the offensive side will be a must. The defensive back seven, though, will get the most attention.

Looking Ahead To The 2012 Season: The Tigers won’t be as good, but that might only bring them back to the pack just a little bit. Rarely does a national title-level team lose its starting quarterback and become better because of it. Jordan Jefferson had a good second half of the regular season, but his problems against Alabama showed just how much the offense needs more of a passing threat under center. Enter Zach Mettenberger, a transfer from Georgia who was the presumed front-runner for the Bulldog starting job two years ago before having some off-field issues. He has a phenomenal stable of running backs to hand off to, while the offensive line that was so dominant over the season gets enough starters back to be a killer again. Rueben Randle left early, but the passing game got a break with Russell Shepard reversing field and choosing to come back for another year. The defense will be almost as nasty with Anthony Johnson, and Bennie Logan forming a solid defensive tackle pair, but losing Michael Brockers hurts. The linebacking corps loses both starters on the outside, and star corner Morris Claiborne took off – Tyrann Mathieu isn’t eligible yet to leave – but Les Miles has stockpiled enough talent to not have too much to worry about.

2011 CFN Recruiting Ranking: 12. That Class Was Heavy On ... the passing game. The Tigers came up with a quietly sensational class with the most noise coming well before February 2nd. QB Zach Mettenberger, the one-time promising Georgia Bulldog, could challenge for the starting job right away, and he or Jordan Jefferson will get instant help from Jarvis Landry, a phenomenal five-star talent, and speedy Odell Beckham. Protecting the passer will soon by La’el Collins, the next great LSU offensive tackle. Defensively, end Jermauria Rasco was the big get on Signing Day, while Anthony Johnson might be the nation’s best tackle.

2010 CFN Recruiting Ranking: 8. That Class Was Heavy On ... Defensive lineman. The secondary got an infusion of talent with Eric Reid and Tharold Simon giving the Tigers two very big, very NFL-looking safeties, and Tyrann Mathieu has good skills and could be a strong corner in time. RB Spencer Ware could be the star of the running game in the near future and Kadron Boone was a great get to be the team's No. 1 WR soon. The biggest stars are at linebacker, led by Justin Maclin, but the biggest part of the class is on the line with Ego Ferguson one of the nation's top tackle prospects and Jordan Allen and Travis Dickson a dangerous end pair.

2009 CFN Recruiting Ranking: 4. That Class Was Heavy On ... the defensive front seven. Russell Shepard has star potential in some way, shape or form either at quarterback or receiver, and WR Rueben Randle and S Craig Loston will make a ton of money someday, but the stars are on the lines with Chris Davenport, Joshua Downs, and Sam Montgomery for the defensive front, with JUCO transfer Akiem Hicks ready to come in right away and play, while Chris Faulk and Stavion Lowe will be starting on the offensive front sooner than later.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Jeremy Shelley kicked five field goals and Trent Richardson broke a 34-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter as No. 2 Alabama beat No. 1 LSU 21-0 on Monday night - the first shutout in BCS title game history.

Richardson swept around left end and raced down the sideline to the end zone with 4:36 left for the first touchdown between the Southeastern Conference rivals in more than 115 minutes of play and one overtime period.

Alabama (12-1) had put it away before that as Shelley kicked field goals of 23, 34, 41, 35 and 44 yards in the first three quarters to make it 15-0, matching an all-bowl record. He also missed two field goals and an extra-point attempt.

But this time, the missed kicks didn't matter to the Tide.

The Tigers (13-1) and Tide met on Nov. 5 in what was dubbed the Game of the Century, and the Tigers won a touchdown-less, defensive standoff, 9-6 in overtime. Alabama went 2 for 6 on field goals in Tuscaloosa.

Richardson, the Heisman Trophy finalist, ran for 96 yards on 20 carries and offensive player of the game A.J. McCarron passed for 234 yards as the Tide had no problem moving against LSU's second-ranked defense in the nation - just not into the end zone.

Alabama's top-ranked defense didn't need much help. With All-American linebacker Dont'a Hightower leading the way, the Tide held LSU to 92 total yards and five first downs.

For the Tide, it's the second BCS championship in the last three years under coach Nick Saban, who also won a title at LSU in 2003.

In a bowl season filled with high-scoring games, the top two defenses in the nation set the tone at the BCS title game. And much like the first meeting, special teams were pivotal.

The Tide's defense was dominant and linebacker C.J. Mosley had the first takeway of the game in the third quarter, his last play of the game as it turned out.

LSU's Jordan Jefferson started to scramble toward the line, but at the last second flipped the ball toward Spencer Ware. Problem was, Ware had turned to block and Mosley snagged the ball and set up Alabama at the Tigers 27.

Mosley was twisted down to the turf by Jefferson and his left leg bent awkwardly. The sophomore stayed down for several minutes and as the medical staff worked on him Alabama fans chanted his first name. As he was carted off, sitting up on the back of a golf cart, he got a huge ovation and pumped his fist.

Alabama couldn't convert the field position into points as Shelley dropped to 4 for 6 on the day, missing wide right on a 41-yarder with 5:38 left in the third.

The next time down, he booted a 44-yarder, giving him more field goals than any kicker has ever had in a college bowl game. His seven attempts were also a record.

The Tide faked a 49-yard attempt early in the second quarter and went with a shovel pass to backup tight end Chris Underwood that gained 4 yards. He reached the first-down marker by the nose of the football.

The drive didn't last much longer and Shelley's 42-yard attempt was blocked by LSU defensive tackle Michael Brockers.

Shelley came back to make one from 34 yards with 4:24 left in the half, and from 41 yards as time expired in the first half.

Alabama opened the second half with another solid drive that stalled, but Shelley tacked on another 3-pointer from 35 yards.

LSU's offense was shut down completely. The Tigers managed two first downs and 66 yards through three quarters. The Tide, led by linebackers Courtney Upshaw and Mosley, gave Jefferson no space to run the option and only short gains when he passes.

It was Alabama's special teams that struck first in the first BCS title game to match teams from the same conference.

Punt returner Marquis Maze found a lane and broke into the open around midfield, though he pulled up instead of trying to get around punter Brad Wing and grabbed his left leg while running out of bounds at the LSU 26 after a 49-yard run-back.

Maze, the Tide's leading receiver, had to be helped over to the Alabama sideline, but he had put his team in scoring position. Maze didn't play again.

McCarron completed a 15-yard pass to Darius Hanks to set up first-and-goal, but LSU's defense, ranked second in the nation behind only Alabama, stiffened.

Shelley, who made one field goal and had another blocked in the first meeting between the SEC rivals, was perfect on a 23-yarder with 5:00 left in the first quarter.

It didn't sound like an LSU home game at the Superdome, about 80 miles from its Baton Rouge campus. The dome was deafening on almost every play with a crowd that was much closer to 50-50 than partisan.

The racket coming from the crimson-clad Alabama fans might have even contributed to a mishandled snap by Jefferson on the first LSU series.

More than a few people questioned whether Oklahoma State should have been given Alabama's spot in the BCS championship game, but the Tide won over the voters and earned a rematch with the Tigers.

Dec. 3 LSU 42 … Georgia 10

CFN Analysis: LSU deserves to be the national champion based on the regular season. No one else deserves to even play for the title now. … However, the best team in college football should come up with a first down in the first half. … Jordan Jefferson will have to do better than 5-of-13 for 30 yards and a touchdown in the BCS championship. … Actually, maybe he doesn’t. The LSU O line is KILLING everyone, while the defense and special teams are picking up the slack. … Tyrann Mathieu deserves Heisman consideration, and Morris Claiborne might be the best defensive back in the country, but the defense revolves around the tremendous defensive tackles. Michael Brockers and Bennie Logan belong in the NFL right now.
 
Nov. 25 at LSU 41 … Arkansas 17
CFN Analysis: LSU didn’t panic after everything went wrong early on. The coaching staff didn’t make a change after Jordan Jefferson got off to a bad start, the defense didn’t change much up, and the team just let its talent shine through. … Jefferson threw one bad pick, but that was it for the big errors. He finished completing 18-of-29 passes for 208 yards with a touchdown and a pick while running seven times for 53 yards and a score. … Tyrann Mattheu is a great corner, but he’s a special safety. He’s at his best when he gets room to move and make things happen. … LSU is in the national title no matter what. Even if the Tigers lose to Georgia and everyone else of note wins, the voters aren’t going to move them down past two. 

Nov. 19 LSU 52 … at Ole Miss 3
CFN Analysis: The Tigers just toyed with Ole Miss. This was a team that played like it knows it belongs in the national title hunt, and there wasn’t any problem with a lack of focus going into the showdown against Arkansas. After struggling to get going against WKU, the Tigers roared early and put it away. … Jordan Jefferson and Jarrett Lee combined to go 8-for-8 for 105 yards and a score. While that’s not going to throw a scare against anyone, when the ground game was rumbling for 353 yards and four scores, the quarterbacks showed they could produce. … Ole Miss didn’t have all its stars, and the LSU defense played like it. The defensive front destroyed the Rebel offensive line with three sacks and eight tackles for loss.  

Nov. 12 at LSU 42 … Western Kentucky 9
CFN Analysis: It was 7-7 in the first quarter and 14-7 halfway through the third quarter. This was the textbook definition of going through the motions. When LSU turned up the defensive pressure, WKU couldn’t breathe. … Jarrett Lee wasn’t given much of a chance to get past the Bama performance. He completed 2-of-4 passes for 15 yards with a five-yard, garbage time touchdown pass. This is Jordan Jefferson’s offense now. … Jefferson was solid, completing 8-of-14 passes for 168 yards and a 59-yard touchdown pass to Rueben Randle. … The offensive line blasted WKU off the ball with Anthony Blue running for 119 yards and two touchdowns on just nine carries, and the team averaged 7.3 yards per pop. … It was the week off the team needed after the pressure of the Alabama game. Playing Ole Miss will be even easier, but next week Jefferson has to be even stronger before dealing with Arkansas. This game, though, showed that the fire isn’t there for a full sixty minutes. It doesn’t have to be. 

Nov. 5 LSU 9 … at Alabama 6 OT
CFN Analysis: LSU didn’t take any wild chances and it didn’t do anything crazy. It played the game straight, let the defense make the plays it needed to, and outlasted the Tide in a dead-even game. From Drew Alleman’s three field goals to Alabama’s four misses, to Brad Wing’s 73-yard boot and four punts put inside the 20, the special teams were the difference in a game that was decided by the slimmest of margins. Eric Reid was the MVP of the game with six big tackles and an interception for the ages that saved the game and the national title, but it was the play of Jordan Jefferson stepping in for an ineffective Jarrett Lee that changed the game around. Jefferson wasn’t great, but he didn’t screw things up, and that’s all that mattered. Now the Tigers have to keep fighting and keep working; the national title isn’t won yet. They still have to deal with Arkansas, the SEC Championship and the BCS Championship, if all goes according to plan, and they’re going to spend the next few weeks getting their butts kissed. This game has to be put in the rearview mirror in a big hurry.  

Oct. 22 at LSU 45 … Auburn 10
CFN Analysis: The suspensions really hurt the Tigers … right. The LSU offense pounded the ball as usual, even without Spencer Ware, and the defense didn’t give up a thing with the line dominating from the start and not letting the Auburn offense breathe. Auburn came up with 248 yards and was stuffed for just 87 on the ground, and the passing game had nothing to offer to challenge the Tyrann Mathieu-less secondary. Showing that everything is working, Jordan Jefferson and Jarrett Lee each threw picture-perfect touchdown passes to Rueben Randle to air it out a bit, and the kick coverage was hard-hitting and terrific. The focus is all on Alabama now after waltzing through this easy win, and the Tigers couldn’t be playing any better.  

Oct. 15 LSU 38 ... at Tennessee 7
CFN Analysis: Even when LSU isn’t playing all that well, it’s still able to win in a blowout. It’s like the team turns it on when it has to, with Morris Claiborne changing the game around with a huge pick and the defense doing what it needed to against a middling Vol offense with no pop. Jarrett Lee once again came up with an efficient and effective game, and once again the offensive dominated with a power running game taking the heart out of the Vols. LSU held on to the ball for over 38 minutes with Spencer Ware and Jordan Jefferson running without much of a problem. There’s one more tune-up game against Auburn, and then the national championship.  

Oct. 8 at LSU 41 … Florida 11
CFN Analysis: LSU wasn’t going to let this get interesting. It showed right away with the bomb to Rueben Randle that the game was going to be over before it could get started; it was a statement through in yet another statement game. The offensive line bullied the Florida defensive front, while the defense didn’t let the Gators do anything on a regular basis. There was the one breakdown on the 65-yard touchdown play to Andre Debose, but the LSU D only allowed 148 yards the rest of the way. The Tigers have wins over Oregon, West Virginia, and Florida, and next up is a date at Tennessee. The résumé continues to get better and better.  

Oct. 1 at LSU 35 … Kentucky 7
CFN Analysis: LSU treated this game like it was playing Western Kentucky. There was plenty of experimenting and lots of new parts thrown in the mix like Alfred Blue, who ran for 72 yards and a score on 16 carries, and Terrence Magee, who ran 12 times for 38 yards and a score. The ground game didn’t exactly dominate, and Jarrett Lee only completed 8-of-21 passes for 169 yards and a score, but the defense never let this get interesting allowing just 155 yards of total offense and with Tyrann Mathieu coming up with yet another big play for a score. This was a go-through-the-motions win over a bad team, and it was the perfect mental break before hosting Florida.  

Sept. 24 LSU 47 … at West Virginia 21
CFN Analysis: LSU might have given up a ton of passing yards and it might have let West Virginia make it interesting for a stretch, but just when things got relatively close, the big plays came to flex the muscle needed. From the Morris Claiborne kickoff return for a score, to the 20 unanswered points, to the lack of turnovers and key penalties, this was a very strong, very tight game under the circumstances. The tackling could’ve been better and much will be made about allowing 463 passing yards, but LSU was in control the whole way. Overconfidence might be a problem down the road, but for this win, it turned out to be a positive.  

Sept. 16 LSU 19 … Mississippi State 6
CFN Analysis: LSU beat up Mississippi State with tremendous line play, power running, and a shockingly effective passing day from Jarrett Lee. It’s one thing for the Tigers to be able to wait out the Bulldogs with its toughness, but it’s another to pull out the win because Lee, who’s considered a liability, was able to push the ball down the field and keep the chains moving. LSU might have only converted 4-of-12 third down chances, but it held on to the ball for over 36 minutes and controlled the game throughout. No, Lee isn’t a top talent, but the offensive line gave him time to work, MSU had to worry about the Tiger ground game, and the results created an effective mix that showed why this year’s LSU team might be the best yet under Les Miles. Against West Virginia next week, the key will be to control the ball again to keep the high powered Mountaineer offense off the field.  

Sept. 10 at LSU 49… Northwestern State 3
CFN Analysis: Zach Mettenberger and Jarrett Lee combined to complete 17-of-21 passes for 225 yards and two touchdowns, and the running game worked just fine running for 175 yards and five scores in the easy win. This was all about tuning up the passing game and getting live reps for the two options, and Lee was terrific. Mettenberger wasn’t bad, but Lee was nearly perfect and was in command. The defensive backups got their feet wet, but everyone got in on the act as the run defense held NSU to -4 net yards. It was a perfect light scrimmage before going on the road to face Mississippi State and West Virginia, and while it would be nice to get more of a pass rush and it would be great if the quarterbacks could produce against a real defense, there’s no complaining with the terrific start.

Sept. 3 LSU 40 … Oregon 27
CFN Analysis: LSU might have beaten Oregon in a blowout, but it’s not like the offense worked all that well. The ground game was powerful, cranking out 175 yards and three scores, but it only averaged 3.6 yards per carry, and the passing game didn’t help ; Jarrett Lee was awful. He might not have thrown any pick-sixes, but he only connected on 10-of-22 passes for 98 yards and a touchdown. LSU won on defense, stuffing Oregon all game long with Tyrann Mathieu coming up with a huge performance with 7.5 tackles, a forced fumble, two broken up passes, and a touchdown. Now the Tigers get to take a week off against Northwestern State, and they’ll get a chance to come up with more of a passing game before going on the road to face Mississippi State and West Virginia. If the defense keeps playing this well, the offense’s job will be to keep the mistakes to a minimum. With just one fumble and four takeaways, the Tigers did what they needed to do. 

The 2011 Recruiting Class Is Heavy On … the passing game. The Tigers came up with a quietly sensational class with the most noise coming well before February 2nd. QB Zach Mettenberger, the one-time promising Georgia Bulldog, could challenge for the starting job right away, and he or Jordan Jefferson will get instant help from Jarvis Landry, a phenomenal five-star talent, and speedy Odell Beckham. Protecting the passer will soon by La’el Collins, the next great LSU offensive tackle. Defensively, end Jermauria Rasco was the big get on Signing Day, while Anthony Johnson might be the nation’s best tackle.

Five LSU Recruits You Should Care About
Player writeups by Scout.com

1. DT Anthony Johnson
6-2, 296, Scout.com’s 1st ranked defensive tackle. Johnson is a physical defensive lineman that loves to bull rush through his opponent. He is not one that uses a lot of moves, so he relies on his pure strength to overpower the man in front of him. He needs to work on using his hands more and moves coming off the ball. He's such a dominant force in the middle with so much room to improve. He has good feet, he gets off the ball well, and he will demand a double team on the next level.

2. QB Zach Mettenberger
6-5, 250, four-star JUCO transfer. An ideal pro-style quarterback, Mettenberger has the size and arm strength coveted by conventional offenses. Not a running threat, but he has decent mobility within the pocket, and he throws a good ball when rolling to his right. Extremely calm in the pocket, taking the time he needs to check all of his options. Size and awareness make him hard to sack. Has a quick, over the top release with good touch.

3. OT La’el Collins
6-4, 275, Scout.com’s 2nd ranked offensive tackle. Collins is a versatle offensive lineman with very good feet, good length, and good power. He has the ability to play inside or outside on the next level, but his feet and arms make him a likely tackle. He gets down field and leads the way for his running backs and he also has a slide-kick in pass protection. He still needs to get better in overall technique and using his hands, but he is an elite tackle.

4. WR Jarvis Landry
5-11, 185, Scout.com’s 4th ranked receiver. You won’t find many 5-11 receivers that are as physical and that block as well as Landry does. He runs exceptional routes and has very good hands. Landry does not let passes get into his body and he is good at grabbing passes outside his frame. One thing that he can improve on is his speed and getting separation but that will be more of an issue at the next level than it is now.

5. LB Trevon Randle
6-2, 205, Scout.com’s 8th ranked outside linebacker. A natural football player and athlete, he could play a number of positions on the field. His best position is possibly linebacker where his athleticism and speed makes a great combination. Has good size and will grow even more. Has a high upside because he is just learning how to use his body to his advantage on the field.
