While most of the off-season buzz about the LSU football team concerns the status of all-star center candidate T-Bob Hebert for the opener against North Carolina, a former Tar Heel recruiting target is emerging as a likely Tiger impact player in 2010.
Defensive end Sam Montgomery, a redshirt freshman from Greenwood, S.C., was a clear standout in the team’s spring game and will be among the preseason favorites for SEC freshman of the year.
The 6-foot-4, 245-pound Montgomery was hotly recruited by Clemson, South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia Tech before deciding on the Tigers.
Meanwhile, Hebert is awaiting word from coach Les Miles and athletic director Joe Alleva (formerly of Duke) on his fate after being arrested for driving while impaired on May 3 near the Baton Rouge campus. The player was also involved in a traffic accident.
The son of a former NFL quarterback, Hebert was indefinitely suspended. As a sophomore on last season’s 9-4 (5-3 SEC) team, he was among the team’s best offensive linemen and excelled in a 24-15 loss at eventual BCS champ Alabama.
The Tigers and Tar Heels will open their schedules on Sept. 4 in Atlanta’s Georgia Dome. The 8 p.m. game will be televised by ABC-TV.

North Carolina Wins that game, Neither Team will move the Ball effectively and will have many turnovers, but UNC will probably score on Defense twice, that the difference.....
Hearing that ex South Meck and Myers Park High School quarterback Cody Keith is being looked at by Tulane, NC State and E.Carolina. Guess he graduates from California school soon. He must have really improved.
Im wondering why the Tarholes believe the LSU game is a lock for a win???!!
LSD is a terrible drug.
LSU will dominate UNC at the Georgia Dome.
Any Tarheel fan who thinks you even have a chance in the Georgia Dome is sadly mistaken. This is not a vintage LSU team but still light years ahead of UNC. It will be a mirror image of what Bama did to Clemson two years ago. The heels will be physically dominated and demoralized after this game and it will have a big effect on the rest of the season. The heels didn't have a chance to coming to Columbia against the Gamecocks much less LSU in the dome, it will be 75/25 LSU fans essentially a home game for them.
i go to cody keith's now former school in california, and yes, he did improve from his horrid play in the beginning of his senior season, but that really isn't saying much. he still made terrible decisions and did not have a quick enough release. he made our previous quarterback, matt schilz (bowling green) look like a football god. it is clearly illustrated with the fact that schilz rejected pac-10 and big-12 offers to go to bowling green, unlike keith who was barely able to squeak out offers from tulane and ecu even with all the pubicity he was getting from a front page yahoo rivals.com story and a documentary/movie being made about him. we students at keith's former high school really didn't like his play, and there have been facebook groups made about his alarmingly high number of int's thrown, and honestly, ecu is really going out on a limb to sign this kid.
