ZACHARY, La. -- Lindsey Scott Jr. remembers the exact moment he first spoke with Brandon Harris, his future LSU teammate and fellow quarterback.
Scott had just rushed for 119 yards and four touchdowns and passed for another 121 yards in the 2013 Louisiana state playoff quarterfinals, but it was not enough to lift his Zachary High School team past Harris and Parkway. The 49-34 loss hit then-sophomore Scott hard, and All-State senior Harris was among the first players to console him.
“At the end of the game, I was on a knee while everybody was shaking hands and I was just crying my eyes out like I was a senior because it meant so much to me,” Scott recalled.
