Once a Big-Frame LSU Nose Tackle Prospect, But He Never Played a Down for the Tigers
Valentine was once seen as a potential impact interior defender for LSU, with rare size/strength traits and verified measurables like a 350-pound bench, 600-pound squat, and 4.90 forty from his high school profile, but the key story is that he left LSU without appearing in a game. That means the main differentiator was *physical upside*, not college production, and the major caution flag is availability and follow-through rather than on-field stat lines. For a team, he would have been a high-ceiling, low-certainty bet, not a plug-and-play answer.
