Brian Kelly Addresses Public, LSU Players After JT Lindsey's Arrest
Brian Kelly Addresses Public, LSU Players After JT Lindsey's Arrest originally appeared on The Spun. There's been yet another college football player arrest, though the charges for LSU's freshman running back JT Lindsey are a little more serious. The former four-star prospect and top back from the state of Louisiana is facing charges of accessory to murder. Lindsey has been accused of unlawfully housing two suspects wanted for the murder of 17-year-old Corey Brooks. He was arrested last week and was subsequently suspended indefinitely by the team. Lindsey has since posted bail. "Lindsey, 18, was arrested last week on felony charges of accessory to the murder of Corey Brooks, 17, in Alexandria last May because Lindsey allegedly unlawfully housed the two suspects wanted for that murder after the fact. A 2025 signee from Alexandria Senior High, Lindsey has been suspended indefinitely from the football team by LSU since his Aug. 8 arrest. He was bailed out of East Baton Rouge Parish Prison shortly after the arrest," explained. Wasted potential rated Lindsey as a four-star prospect and the No. 149 player in the Class of 2025. He was the No. 7 running back in the nation and the No. 4 player from the state of Louisiana. As a junior he rushed for a whopping 1,726 yards and 26 touchdowns while also contributing in the return game and competing in track. He was crucial in helping his team go 8-5 and reaching the state quarterfinals. Together with top running back in the country Harlem Berry, Lindsey was primed to give LSU one of the best backfield tandems in college football for years to come. The lesson moving forward On Friday, LSU head coach Brian Kelly addressed the situation with Lindsey publicly for the first time. He stated that the tragedy of the situation comes down to "who is in your circle." Kelly believes that the issue has less to do with the university and its campus security and more about who people allow into their personal circle. 'Well, this is all about who is in your circle,' Kelly said. 'I'm not concerned about our university and security and such,' Kelly said,. 'This is about who do you give access to in your circle? Your circle of influence has got to be based upon people that you trust, people that know you, and you know them. And that circle really needs to be evaluated by some players and some individuals. It's not just players. It's anybody that can gain access through what you have. And if you're going to give that up to somebody, it's going to allow access to areas that they shouldn't be in.' Kelly said that players need to be more careful with who they allow to be a part of their lives, especially now that they're making huge money through NIL deals and revenue-sharing. 'This is really about individuals understanding, and in particular players today,' Kelly said. 'I mean, they're making revenue-share money and NIL. People want to ingratiate themselves with people that are making substantial amounts of money. So, you've got to be careful.' The LSU Tigers begin their 2025 campaign on the road against No. 4 Clemson in two weeks from today.

Updating LSU football's running back depth chart after four-star freshman was suspended
LSU football's running back room is getting thinner. Freshman running back JT Lindsey was suspended by the university after he turned himself in to campus police last Friday to face a count of accessory after the fact to second-degree murder. According to authorities allege Lindsey housed two suspects in his dorm after the suspects were involved in a killing near Alexandria, LA. Lindsey is not alleged to have been involved in the crime, and Lindsey's attorney told that Lindsey was unaware that the suspects were wanted for murder. LSU is down to three scholarship running backs. LSU lost another back earlier this summer when Trey Holly enrolled at Southern after navigating legal issues of his own at LSU. Running back isn't a good position to be thin. SEC rushers take a beating vs. NFL-level defenders and depth can be critical to surviving a 12-game schedule. In the playoff era, where teams can play 15 games, it's even more important. While LSU lacks quantity, the Tigers have quality talent in the backfield. LSU's run game struggled in 2024 but with more experienced backs and the addition of run game coordinator Alex Atkins, LSU is counting on an improved ground attack this fall. Here's how LSU's running back depth chart is shaping up. RB1: Caden Durham, Sophomore Durham is LSU's clear-cut No. 1 back. Durham surpassed 1,000 total yards as a true freshman while dealing with a lingering toe injury. He was explosive as a rusher and a threat out of the backfield. Durham ran for six scores and averaged 5.3 yards per attempt. His 3.48 yards after contact per run ranked top 10 among SEC rushers and was one of the best after contact marks among true freshmen. As Durham steps into a feature role, he'll have more on his plate, but he's ready to carry the load. "I think having Caden Durham as a second-year player, obviously, he's an electric player and a really good football player, but he still was a true freshman last year that came in in June, right? So, having him as a second-year player, he's a lot better football player today than he was at this time last year," LSU offensive coordinator Joe Sloan said. RB2: Harlem Berry OR Kaleb Jackson Behind Durham, LSU has two talented backs whol will battle for carries. Harlem Berry, freshman Berry was the No. 1-ranked running back in the class of 2025 and will make an immediate impact as a true freshman. Kelly doesn't shy away from playing young running backs -- we saw the opportunity Durham got last year -- and LSU won't waste time getting Berry involved. "I think we all know his traits, right? Very smooth. He's got elite speed, catches the ball well," Brian Kelly said when discussing the freshman running back. Kelly added that Berry will need to adjust to facing SEC-level tacklers, but Kelly said Berry "will have to play for us this year." Kaleb Jackson, junior Jackson was a blue-chip recruit in the class of 2023 who flashed his talent as a true freshman before struggling to carve out a role in 2024. Jackson is a big and physical runner who's not afraid to run through defenders. Durham and Berry are dynamic and explosive, but Jackson provides LSU with a power back. "Kaleb's had a great camp. And, you know, he's 230-plus pounds. He's physical. He's smart. It's just about getting into, you know, game situations where he makes good cuts and good decisions," Brian Kelly said.
