True freshman tight end Arik Gilbert could be a game changer for LSU football in 2020.

LSU football could have one of the nation’s most dangerous offensive weapons in 2020.

And it’s a player that’s never played a down of college football.

True freshman tight end Arik Gilbert signed with the Tigers last December after being rated as the No. 1 tight end in the nation and the No. 5 overall 2021 recruit.

Gilbert, 6-foot-5/253 lbs from Marietta, GA, is an athletic freak who has an unbelievable size/speed combination that could make him one of the most difficult mismatches in college football.
