Head coach Ed Orgeron and the LSU Tigers recently offered 2024 running back Stacy Gage of the IMG Academy in Florida. His offer list is already impressive as a sophomore in high school. Schools such as Auburn, Ohio State, Texas, USC, among others join the Bayou Bengals in offering him a scholarship.
The 5’11” running back can be explosive on the football field. Gage rushed for 1,242 yards and 22 touchdowns as a freshman. He averaged 155 yards rushing per game at a clip of 10.5 yards per rush. In his first game of the season on Friday, Gage scored three touchdowns against American Heritage.
He can be a handful for opposing defenses to bring down. Arm tackles and going high on the back don’t seem to faze him. Gage shows good contact balance and the ability to avoid defenders with ease. He can stop and go at the drop of a hat, showing off his acceleration.
Don’t blink when Gage has the ball because you might miss him.
