What Led Bannister To Louisiana Tech???

"It meant a lot to me when Coach Brock Hays offered me first,” Bannister said. “We instantly clicked & built a relationship. The whole entire staff recruited me hard & that showed me a lot. Coach Mac(McFarland) really took the time to show me how they plan to use me & how he’ll develop me over my next three to four years.” 

Why Louisiana Tech Over Power 5 Programs??

"Most schools only talk to you about football,” Bannister said. “A lot of kids get caught up with facilities, uniforms, the conference, & stuff like that. Don’t get me wrong that plays a part but it’s not everything. I plan to major in mechanical engineering & Louisiana Tech is one of the best schools in the country for my major. I just feel like this was the best place for me to be successful on & off the field.” 

Life After Football??

​"My dream is start a business when I’m done with football & open up my own mechanic shop,” Bannister said. “I’m really into cars & fixing them. Most kids don’t know what they want to do with their life other than football, but I have a plan & Louisiana Tech is going to help me with that.”

Robertson, a two-time All-American for Tech in college, has all but cemented himself as one of the top cornerbacks in this year’s draft. The 5-9, 187-pound cornerback finished his career at Louisiana Tech with 14 interceptions and 48 passes defended. Oh & by the way he finished in the top 3 of seven categories for cornerbacks in this year’s draft in Pro Football Focus. 

After an impressive pro day, that included Robertson running a 4.45 in the forty could have very well landed him in the second round for sure. Many of the mock drafts have him getting drafted between the second & fourth rounds.

Zachary’s Chris Hilton is one of the top wide receivers in the 2021 recruiting class. 247’s composite rankings have him at No.

​11 among the position group.
He’s the No. 65 overall player in the class, and fourth in talent-laden Louisiana.
On last Sunday(April 12), Hilton narrowed things down. 
He has 21 offers, per 247. Only 6 of those programs find themselves in the top group for Hilton though.

There isn’t a great sense for which program may be the leader of this group of six as of right now, but many believe it’ll be LSU when it’s all said & done. 

“I’m looking forward to seeing LSU’s offense now that Joe Brady is gone,” Hilton said. “I still feel good about how the offense will look, but we’ll see when the season gets here.”

Hilton says he doesn’t have a commitment date as of right now, but expressed that he wants to take some more visits before he makes a decision. 

“I really want to go visit Georgia, so soon as everything goes back to normal I’ll make it up there,” Hilton said. “I feel like I have the best relationships with LSU, Alabama, Georgia’s coaching staffs. My relationship with the coaches, academics, & feeling like a place like home are my biggest factors when picking a school.”

Wherever Hilton lands, he’ll be going into an elite program. At 6-foot-1, 175 pounds Hilton is one of the most gifted athletes in this class. Hilton cleared 6-10 in the high jump last season in track for the LSU Indoor Qualifier & was only a sophomore. He’s also a pretty good basketball player as well & known for his high flying dunks. Oh & by the way this kid carries over a 3.0 grade point average, which is why he says academics will play a big factor into the school he chooses. ​
