The Tigers hosted their annual OL/DL camp this weekend, and in addition to the recruiting targets for current and future cycles, LSU also welcomed current commit [autotag]Ahmad Breaux[/autotag] to campus.
Breaux, a three-star prospect from Ruston who flipped from Duke to the Tigers back in March, got to spend some time around recently hired defensive line coach [autotag]Jimmy Lindsey[/autotag].
Lindsey joined the staff after spring practice, and he brings SEC experience to the table after spending the last two seasons in the same role at South Carolina. He participated in his first OL/DL camp with the Tigers this weekend, and it seems he made a good impression on Breaux.
Per On3’s Shea Dixon:
“Spending time with Coach Lindsey off the field was amazing,” Breaux said. “I really got to bond with him, and it allowed us to learn about each other. He’s a great man and an equally as great coach; the type of person that you would wish to have on your side.
“Our bond instantly clicked and we got tight. Those days were great experiences and I look forward to having more.”
When it came to on-field drills, Breaux said he felt his game grow even more in just a day’s worth of hands-on teaching from Lindsey.
“It felt like I was truly being coached by someone who wanted me to get better,” Breaux said. “Coach Lindsey coaches hard, and he directs you in the right direction so you truly get everything you can out of it.
“He really fits the coaching style I’m used to at my high school, because at Ruston they coach in a very similar way. I really feel like I got better that day while working with him.”
Lindsey has big shoes to fill in replacing one of the staff’s top recruiters in [autotag]Jamar Cain[/autotag], but it seems he’s already doing a lot of work to build relationships with not just the current roster but priority recruits, as well.
