Brandon LaFell was an LSU red-zone menace with size, polish, and big-play timing
In his 2009 LSU season, Brandon LaFell led the Tigers with 57 receptions for 792 yards and 11 touchdowns, finishing his LSU career with 175 catches, 2,517 yards, and 25 scores—production that still places him among the school’s all-time receiving leaders.[3][8] The key reason to care: he wasn’t just a compiler; at 6-foot-3 with NFL-caliber body control, he gave LSU a true boundary target who could win on contested catches, stress defenses vertically, and deliver in the red zone, which is exactly the kind of dependable, high-upside receiver coaches love.[3][10]
