ESPNU 150 Watch List quarterback J.T. Barrett (Wichita Falls, Texas/Rider) is back in classes after a relaxing, yet productive spring break. Over the weekend, he had a chance to visit Baton Rouge, La., and take in the LSU campus experience.
Barrett, a 6-foot-2, 210-pound junior, said he enjoyed all that LSU had to offer, as he and his family left Baton Rouge with a lot of answers about the football program and the school’s academics. LSU is one of the 10 schools that have offered Barrett.
“I liked that the campus was nice all-around,” Barrett said. “The way they have things set up, academically and football-wise, you can see why they’re successful every year. With football, from what I saw, the inner workings of everything, it’s not surprising that they went to the national championship game this year. They do everything well.”
