LSU’s 2017 signing class grew stronger tonight when Crosby, TX WR Mannie Netherly gave his verbal pledge:
Netherly’s pledge doesn’t come as a total surprise. He’s been heavily picked to LSU on the Crystal Ball, though recent picks were coming through for Texas A&M. Netherly marks yet another successful East Texas conquest for embattled LSU Special Teams coach Bradley Dale Peveto.
At 6’2”, 183, Netherly has a nice frame to grow into, but from tape he already looks bigger. He’s not thin, but there’s plenty of room to add muscle. Watching his tape reminds me terribly of Michael Clayton:
We represented Michael Clayton as one of the best WRs in school history earlier this offseason, so those are some mighty, if not impossible, shoes to fill, but simply the look of him screams Michael Clayton.
