UT needs to stay away from him and are actually lucky LSU got him. He showed up as a freshman FB wieghing in at about 280 and was never in shape. He played okay this spring but ran into some problems.
LSU has to lose at least 12 more players off this years team, besides the current SRs, to be able to bring in all of their recruits for this coming year or they will have a few more "Porter" situations. The coaches decided DA was one they could do without.
