Dandy Don’s
Preseason Top Prospects in Louisiana
Class of 2008

Updated 6/14/07


1. Chase Clement, (TE/DE), 6'6", 243, 4.7, E.D. White. Chase Clement has size, speed, toughness and all the tools to be a great defensive end in college. Clement already has scholarship offers from LSU, Florida and Ole Miss with many more to come. He will be a national recruit.

2. Chris Tolliver, (WR), 6'3", 196, 4.5, Rayville. Tolliver is the real deal and will be highly recruited.

3. Tyler Edwards, (TE), 6'4", 236, Ouachita Parish. Edwards is the brother of former LSU tight end Eric Edwards. Tyler has good feet and is a very good blocker.

4. Tim Molton, (WR), 6'3", 186, 4.5, Destrehan. Moten has great size and speed and will be very highly recruited.

5. P.J. Lonergan, (OL), 6'4", 280, Rummel. Son of a former LSU offensive lineman. Needs to get stronger in the upper body. LSU commitment.

6. La Ron Byrd, (WR), 6'3”, 209, Hahnville. Byrd is one of five big-time wide receiver prospects in the state.

7. Alonzo Landry, (RB), 5'11", 210, 4.5, Carencro, LA. Landry reminds me of LaBrandon Toefield. He is strong enough to run over linebackers and fast enough to outrun defensive backs.

8. Michael Mauti, (LB), 6’2”, 210, Mandeville. His dad played for the N.O. Saints and he has a brother who plays wide receiver at Penn State.

9. P.J. Smith, (WR/FS), 6'1", 175, 4.5, John Curtis. A sure open-field tackler on defense.

10. Clay Spencer, (OL), 6'6", 280, Parkview Baptist. Spencer spends most of his spare time working out in the weight room and working on his foot speed. LSU commitment.

10. (tie) Luther Ambrose, (RB), 5'9", 160, 4.4, ST James. Blazing speed.

11. Trent Mackey, (LB), 5'11", 210, Carencro. If Mackey was two inches taller he would be one of the most highly recruited linebackers in the nation.

12. Joel Ross, (DT), 6’2 “, 290, Vandebilt Catholic. Very aggressive with good quickness, and almost impossible to block one on one.

13. Dallas Thomas, (OL), 6'6", 290, Istrouma. I saw Thomas play two times last season and he has great foot work and balance. He's a super prospect in my opinion.

13. (tie) Dyron White, (OL), 6'6", 275, Slidell. Has all the tools to be an outstanding college lineman.

14. Matt Branch, (TE), 6’7”, 240, Sterlington. Matt is big, fast and strong.

15. James Landry, (QB/ATH), 6’5”, 210, 4.5, Assumption. James has a strong arm and great foot speed.

15. (tie) Robby Green, (CB), 6'0", 180, John Curtis. Green has great size and speed to play cornerback in college.

16. Ryan ST Julien, (DB), 6’1”, 180, Catholic NI. Great speed and will likely play cornerback in college.

17. Jhyryn Taylor, (WR), 6'1", 200 , 4.5. Brother of Curtis Taylor and Brandon Taylor. Big, fast and great hands.

18. Nathan Lewis, (TE/DE), 6'4", 250, Hahnville. Big, fast and good upside.

19. Prentiss Waggner, (CB), 6'2", 185, 4.4, Clinton. Waggner has the size and speed to be a great cornerback in the SEC.

20. Jerico Nelson, (RB), 5'11", 200, Destrehan. Very fast and hard to tackle.

20. (tie)Bradley Roussel, (LB), 5'11", 215, Redemptorist, BR. A very physical, hard-hitting linebacker. His height is his only downside.

21. Ryan Lewis, (QB), 6'3", 215, Catholic of BR. Lewis will be starting for his third year inn a row for the Bears and he makes good decisions.

22. Mario Wiley, (WE/KR/DB), West Monroe, 4.4. Wiley is probably the best kick return player in the state. 4.0 GPA.

23. Rocky Duplessis, (CB), 6'2", 185, Belle Chase. Great size and speed and very aggressive.

24. Brandon Taylor, (WR/ATH), 6'0", 175, Franklinton. Taylor has a twin sister and his older brother, Curtis, plays at LSU.

25. Randall Mackey, (QB), 6'0", 175, 4.55, Bastrop. Mackey has a strong arm and the ability to see the entire field. He reminds me of Florida quarterback Chris Leak.

25. (tie) Jordan Jefferson (QB), 6'3", 210, Destrehan. Hurt most of last season but still drew interest from teams like LSU, Florida, Alabama, and Auburn.

26. Kevin Saia, (OL/DL), 6'3", 295, Dutchtown. A hard-worker who spends much of his time working with weights.

27. Evan Ruiz, (OL), 6'4", 282, ST Michael BR. Ruiz attended the Army All-Star Junior camp and was very impressive.

27. (tie) Deangelo Peterson, (ATH), 6' 2 1/2", 4.5, 196. Desire Street Academy. Was impressive enough at the LSU Summer camp to receive a scholarship offer. Will likely play wide receiver in college.

28. Demetrius Porter, (OL), 6'6", 285, Marksville. He's being recruited by many of the top schools in the nation.

29. Damion Dixon (WR), 6'4", 185, Port Allen. Big and strong and highly recruited.

30. Mikie Mahtook, (QB), 6'1", 195, 4.4, St. Thomas More. Missed the entire 2006 season with an injury.

30. (tie) Khiry Cooper, (WR), 6'2", 175, 4.4, Calvary Baptist. Hand great hands, great speed and runs good pass routes.
