Dutchtown High School in Geismar, Louisiana has become a hotbed for producing Division I College Football prospects, including the state's top prospect this season in defensive back Landon Collins. One of those blue chips who LSU let escape out of their own backyard is Sophomore Running Back Eddie Lacy who will be up Heisman candidate Trent Richardson at Alabama this season. Lacy recently earned high praise from Nick Saban for an excellent camp and improvement in holding onto the ball:
Saban was asked about second-team running back Eddie Lacy, who lost two fumbles early last season. How has the redshirt sophomore been doing in regards to ball security in preseason practices.
"Well, he's doing fine," Saban said. "He hasn't had any issues or problems. He's had a really good fall camp, and I think his energy and enthusiasm goes up with his confidence and his knowledge of the offense, and I think he feels a lot more comfortable and confident now, and he's had a really good fall camp.
