If the advent of the early signing period has favorably altered the dynamic for unsigned quarterbacks leading up to National Signing Day, Los Angeles (Calif.) Brentwood School signal caller Cole Lourd is the poster boy for a lost season amid the coronavirus pandemic.
A short list of Lourd’s Twitter followers include former Texas Longhorns offensive coordinators Tim Beck and Mike Yurcich, but after the pandemic shut down spring practice last year and cancelled Lourd’s senior season, the consensus three-star prospect is still looking for a landing spot.
On Monday, LSU extended an offer to Lourd after originally recruiting him as a preferred walk on.
