UNC RANTS: FROM FOUR STAR TO FELONY COUNT

LSU freshman RB JT Lindsey just went from Preseason Camp to Prison Intake faster than Brian Kelly can say “family.”

Friday afternoon, Lindsey turned himself in after being accused of harboring two murder suspects in his Nicholson Gateway dorm. He’s staring down two felony counts of accessory after the fact to second-degree murder and is currently out on a $5,000 bond. LSU wasted no time suspending him from all football activities until this is sorted.

The friends in question? 17-year-old Shemell Jacobs and 18-year-old Keldrick Jordan, hometown buddies from Alexandria. They’ve been wanted since May for the shooting death of 17-year-old Corey Brooks. U.S. Marshals caught up to them Monday inside Lindsey’s dorm.

And this wasn’t just a sleepover gone wrong. According to reports, the Marshals found:

• Two AR-15 rifles
• A Draco pistol (basically an AK that got left in the dryer)
• A Glock

Lindsey’s defense:

“Didn’t know they were wanted for murder.”
“Didn’t know about the guns.”
“I was at football camp the whole time.”

The arrest warrant’s response: Yeah… about that…
Investigators say one of Lindsey’s own associates told them he knew the guys were wanted. Surveillance footage shows him in the dorm with them as far back as July 24. Oh, and Alexandria PD had been blasting their faces all over the news for months.

Tiger Rant fans didn’t hold back:

“They were camo so he couldn’t see them.” – Soupymcsoupersonville
Stealth mode unlocked.

“How could he not notice 2 AR-15s and a Draco?” – Willie Stroker
Yeah, not exactly pocket pistols.

“Maybe they put the Glock in one of his school books thinking he wouldn’t ever open it.” – Akiro
Tough but fair.

Some fans are already looking to the transfer portal:

“Call Southern University… we’re sending over another running back!!” – TigerSaurus

Others just shaking their heads:

“Kids don’t think. They want instant gratification. When they realize what they did, it’s too late.” – Curiousmark

Bottom line:
You’re a four star recruit, 2,476 yards in high school, Warrick Dunn Award winner, NFL dreams in sight, and you allegedly let two wanted murder suspects turn your dorm into Call of Duty: Baton Rouge Edition.

This isn’t just fumbling the bag, this is punting it into the stands.
