LSU lands commitment from Cutrer

LSU football received its fourth commitment for the 2013 signing class Monday morning when Jewel Sumner defensive back Jeremy Cutrer phoned coach Les Miles with the news.

Cutrer received a scholarship offer while attending LSU's junior day over the weekend.

"I've been wanting to play for LSU since I was old enough to turn on the TV and watch them play," Cutrer said." "I can't even explain how happy I am."

All four of LSU's early commitments hail from Louisiana high schools.

Cutrer joins Loranger star Jeryl Brazil, the first of the 2013 commitments, to make two of the four pledges from District 8-3A.

As a sophomore at Sumner, Cutrer had 41 tackles and 14 interceptions, with three of the picks returned for touchdowns. As a junior, he had 53 tackles, three interceptions and two forced fumbles.

Cutrer, 6-foot-2, 180 pounds, projects as a safety in college.

"He wants an opportunity where he can play for SEC championships and national championships," Sumner coach Zephanieh Powell said.

Cutrer grew up in the 7th Ward section of New Orleans, relocating with his family to the Kentwood area in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

For the LSU fans who might be concerned a bit about the downturn in INTs from Cutrer's SO to JR season, "As a sophomore at Sumner, Cutrer had 41 tackles and 14 interceptions, with 3 of the picks returned for touchdowns. As a junior, he had 53 tackles, 3 interceptions and 2 forced fumbles". I went to see David Jenkins of Carrollton Hebron play in 2010 (LSU signee in 2011), and the other team threw the ball a lot! I believe a grand total of 2 passes (both the quick passes behind the LOS) were thrown on HIS side of the field. Not surprisingly, some of your better cover guys have fantastic INT numbers for 1 YEAR. At that point, word gets around, and especially in HS where the talent is up and down on the teams, they start throwing at the OTHER guy. Jenkins almost blocked an extra point BTW and was stuck to any receiver he was assigned to like glue...the only problem I saw with Jenkins was he was not very physical. On passes against other defenders, he basically just went over there and occupied a blocker, not trying to tackle the guy himself. To be fair, the coach may have told him "Son, you are the best corner we have and the last thing you need to do is to get hurt making a tackle, so just peel away a blocker and let someone else bring the guy down." LOL!
