Jacksonville State showing interest in dismissed LSU QB Perr

JACKSONVILLE, Ala. -- Jacksonville State coach Jack Crowe has spoken to the family of former LSU quarterback Ryan Perrilloux about a possible transfer to an FCS team with no scholarship quarterbacks on the roster.

Ryan Perrilloux exhausted his chances to remain in good standing with coach Les Miles' LSU program.

Crowe said Tuesday he also had a lengthy discussion with LSU coach Les Miles, who kicked Perrilloux off the defending national championship team after repeated off-the-field problems.

"Les was very kind to spend quite a bit of time explaining the situation to me," Crowe told The Associated Press. "He's very optimistic about him being a successful player and a successful student-athlete."

Crowe said Miles felt Perrilloux arrived with expectations to play as a freshman, but that opportunity diminished.

Troubled ex-LSU quarterback Ryan Perrilloux may have found a place where he can get the playing time he craves.

Perrilloux has transferred to Jacksonville State, where he will have the inside track for the starting quarterback job next season.

Perrilloux was dismissed from LSU earlier this month after repeated off-the-field problems. The Gamecocks do not have a scholarship quarterback on their roster and since Perrilloux is transferring to a Football Championship Subdivision team, he won't have to sit out next season.

He has two years of eligibility remaining.

"Basically, I just see this as a second opportunity to be successful," Perrilloux told The Birmingham News.

Jacksonville State coach Jack Crowe spoke to the family of Perrilloux earlier this month about the possibility of transferring to the school. Crowe also spoke with LSU coach Les Miles, who explained Perrilloux's situation to Crowe.

At face value, that makes sense...but he definitely has an "advanced "skillset that may not be matched by the receivers and backs. Would he be a plus: Yes. But if his off field issues were so severe Miles would cut him loose, then they will probably re-appear at the FCS level...
