D.J. Chark

In 2013, LSU’s receiving corps was basically just Travin Dural. Though Malachi Dupre and John Diarse chipped in every so often, neither was a consistent factor. D.J. Chark looks like he’ll help change that.”His confidence is going through the roof,” quarterback Anthony Jennings said,”He came out in spring working on his hands, working on his feet. He’s one of the most explosive guys we have on the team speed wise. He’s coming out here showing it.

Anthony Jennings

As a sophomore in 2014, Anthony Jennings struggled. He completed just 48.9 percent of his passes and tossed seven interceptions against just 11 touchdowns.Jennings’ first throw of the spring game was tremendous, and his second attempt was even better—a 37-yard back-shoulder toss right on the money to Malachi Dupre.
