Ruston tight end Ahmad Hudson officially trimmed his college list to LSU and Nebraska, and Cecilia athlete Braylon Calais and Dunham quarterback Elijah Haven have commitment announcement on deck next week.
Louisiana vs. All Y’all “Recruit Dat Boot” co-hosts Jerit Roser and Sam Spiegelman touched base on some of the latest major developments for a few of the state’s most highly regarded 2027 prospects.
But they also used another new development for Haven, a historic NIL deal with Electronic Arts (the designer of countless top sports video games, as a jumping-off point for a special episode of the show.
Jerit and Sam spent most of an hour drafting rosters for a hypothetical Louisiana high school football video game as a fun way to spotlight some of the most memorable performers and prospects from the past decade and a half.
The premise was of course to focus on the draftees as high school players as opposed to what levels they may have reached in college or the NFL. So, Leonard Fournette at St. Augustine as opposed to at LSU or in Jacksonville or Tampa Bay, or Easton Royal at Brother Martin and not necessarily where he ends up in another year and a half.
(Note: Jerit maintains Sam’s selection of Trey’ Dez Green at his LSU tight end position and not his Zachary wide receiver spot is, in fact, cheating!)
And the guys also tried to lean into the video-game angle in terms of athletic, traitsy, cheat-code type players.
So, without further adieu, enjoy the episode and let us know: 1) which players were missed who should’ve been drafted, and 2) whether you think Jerit or Sam drafted the better team?
