Former Kentwood High star Trey Palmer is now with the New Orleans Saints. Palmer was released by the Buccaneers, but the 24-year-old receiver was picked up by the Black and Gold. Palmer is also a former LSU Tiger and finished his college career at Nebraska. In two seasons in Tampa, Palmer had 51 catches for 557 yards and four touchdowns.
The LSU football team has no shortage of wide receivers after bringing in multiple transfers and several key veterans returned. Quarterback Garrett Nussmeier says the Tigers will be fun to watch with all the talent around him.
With a healthy Chris Hilton and the addition of Barion Brown, the deep ball is expected to be a bigger part of LSU’s offense.
