The first offer was the one Joseph Evans wanted the most.
Evans is a junior defensive tackle from Haynesville who accepted a scholarship offer from LSU to play football at the school, he and his father said Sunday.
The offer came after Haynesville coaches sent a highlight video to LSU, and the offer came sooner than either the father or son expected.
"We figured once his senior year came, he would get a lot of offers," said Evans' father, Frank. "He's getting bigger and stronger and better. Coming at his part of his junior year, we were happy.
