Pretty awesome to see Blake’s rise in the ranks from my time in Ruston. For context, he made $140,000 as LaTech’s DC in 2015. Worked his ass off to get here.
LSU is expected to make new DC Blake Baker the highest paid assistant in the country with a three-year deal worth more than $2.2 million a year, sources tell @YahooSports. His new deal at Missouri would have averaged $2 million a year.
"Anybody can say anything about me and write what they want about me, but you are not going to use that access that you are given to demean our players." @SCumbie_LaTech today @MorningDrive318 on how he handles social media and criticism as @LATechFB is 3-7 this season. @KNOE8
@cbranch89@TheAthletic heard from a rival exec she is considered a five-tool prospect by many local daycare's, per industry sources with knowledge of the situation.
Man, this sucks. Had the pleasure of covering Jaylon during my time in Ruston. Was humble and kind yet a terror to opposing QBs. Sad day for one of best pass rushers to ever do it for LATech FB.
The LA Tech Family mourns this morning's tragic news of the sudden death of former Bulldog great, Jaylon Ferguson.
We will remember his God-given talents on the field and his infectious personality off of it.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.
RIP, 45.
Two years ago, a tornado devastated Louisiana Tech. Now, they're an NCAA regional host.
Went to Ruston and wrote a story of rebuilding, purpose and #RustonStrong. On the best story in baseball.
