Former 4-star quarterback says he has walk-on offer from LSU

LSU has offered a walk-on spot to a 23-year old former four-star quarterback.

Cord Sandberg of Bradenton (Fla.) Manatee High was rated the nation's No. 8 dual QB in 2013 when he chose to sign with Mississippi State and then-Bulldogs coach Dan Mullen.

But when he was chosen in round three of the Major League Baseball draft by the Philadelphia Phillies, he signed and put his football career on the shelf.

But after six years in the minor leagues and never advancing past Double A ball, Sandberg said he's retiring from baseball to chase his football dream again.
