Could he really be better than Glenn Dorsey...?

Wait a second, isn't he a DE?

Nope, thought is he may become a 3-4 DE on the next level but he'll be a DT at LSU. I thought the same thing. But according to their website he is listed at 6'3, 281lbs.

You could see him move outside with Jackson and then have Woods and Favorite play the DT spots though at times next year.

You sure man?

Maybe he's a Justin Tuck type player where he'll play all over the line. I thought he was a DE.

#90 Ricky Jean-Francois DT

Also..
Young and raw defender who can play either inside or outside of the defensive front ... Coming off an outstanding rookie season, one that saw him earn first-team Freshman All-America honors ... Defensive coordinator Bo Pelini said of Jean-Francois, “he’s very versatile. He can play all three positions. He plays all over the board, kind of where we need him by series” ... Also a member of the LSU track and field team ... Throws the shot put and the discus for the nationally-ranked Tigers.

Ok so he's a hybrid.
