It didn’t take long for former LSU redshirt freshman quarterback Lowell Narcisse Jr. to announce where he would be playing football in 2018. On Thursday, he announced that he would be attending Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College this fall.
On Tuesday night, Narcisse announced his decision to transfer from LSU after just over a year with the team.
The former LSU quarterback joined Jordy Culotta and T-Bob Hebert for their 104.5 FM ESPN Baton Rouge radio program Off The Bench on Wednesday on Wednesday and broke down his decision to leave Orgeron’s program.
“Last night was a real emotional night for me. LSU has always been my dream school. For the position that I am in, being able to leave my dream school to do what was best for me, it was a real emotional night for me,” Narcisse said. “I just had to do what’s best for me and my future as far as showcasing my abilities. I just feel like I had to do it. It was the best thing for me to get a new start.”
During the interview, Narcisse indicated the Tigers only planned to use him in a situational role, which he felt did not utilize his abilities to the fullest nature.
“They did have some situations where they were going to utilize me and my abilities. But — for me personally, I felt and what I believe is that I am a quarterback,” Narcisse said. “I don’t want to just be labeled as a Wildcat guy or a guy who just comes in and runs on certain situations.
“So, we were just kind of on two different pages. They needed a guy who was ready now to play, and we was moving in different directions. I wish the Tigers nothing but the best this year. Coach O has always treated me like one of his sons and showed me respect, and he still supports me now that I’m not there.”
He was a highly rated recruit in Louisiana in 2017 but has not played in two years after missing his high school senior season with an injury and decided to redshirt last season.
