Defensive end Bennie Logan came into last weekend expecting a greyshirt offer from LSU, but he left with a scholarship. The three-star Coushatta product is the latest name added to Rivals.com’s No. 1 recruiting class. Logan verbally committed after his visit to Baton Rouge on Saturday. Logan had eight sacks and forced eight fumbles at Red River High School last season. The 6-foot-3, 235-pound defensive end became the second defensive end in LSU’s 2009 recruiting class.  The star ranking system has not always been the most accurate way to judge high school players, though. Many recruits have not lived up to their five-star hype, but some have exceeded expectations.Coming out of high school, Rivals.com five-star recruits Claude Wroten, Ryan Perrilloux and Al Woods were dubbed as the future of LSU football.Four-star Rivals recruits JaMarcus Russell, LaRon Landry and Glenn Dorsey were highly recruited but were not the headliners of their class.While Russell, Landry and Dorsey led LSU to two national championships and were drafted in the top 10 of the NFL draft, Wroten, Perrilloux and Woods did not live up to their five-star hype. Wroten was drafted but suspended for the 2008 NFL season, and Perrilloux was kicked off the team in May.Five-star players are not guaranteed success in college or the NFL. Four-star recruits have the opportunity to make a five-star impact at the next level.The Tigers have 10 Rivals four-star recruits in its 2009 recruiting class.Michael FordRunning back Ford (5-feet-10-inches, 200 pounds), the No. 59 player on the Rivals100, has the strength to be a durable back. Ford benches 405 pounds and squats 450 pounds. The four-star recruit broke his collarbone his junior season but came back to rush for 2,953 yards and 29 touchdowns as a senior. “Even when his arm was in a sling, [he was] trying to inspire the guys to work hard,” said Leesville coach Terence Williams.Williams expects Ford’s work ethic to make him a leader for LSU.”He just led by example,” Williams said. “He is someone that is going to be the first to arrive and the last to leave.”Leesville coach said Ford stacks up with some of his best players ever.”The sky’s the limit,” Williams said. “I’ve been blessed to have coached some guys that have gone on to become first round draft picks and his work ethic, ability and talent are in line with those same guys.”Drayton CalhounFour-star athlete Calhoun played both running back and defensive back at Tucker High School in Georgia. The 6-foot, 175-pound athlete runs a 4.48 40-yard dash.”He is a phenomenal player,” Tucker coach Franklin Stephens said. “Offensively he can change the game on any given play.”Stephen also said Calhoun became more outspoken on and off the field this season.”Drayton is a very quiet kid,” Stephens said. “This past year he became more of a leader.” Even though Calhoun was featured as a running back at Tucker, the four-star recruit may be able to be used in other ways, Stephens said. “He may end up being one of those utility half back slot type kids,” Stephens said. Kenny BellWide receiver Bell from Rayville could be LSU’s top receiver in the 2009 class if the Tigers don’t land Bastrop five-star recruit Rueben Randle. Bell (6-feet-1-inches, 160 pounds) runs a 4.5 40-yard dash.”He is extremely fast,” Barton said. “The kid just can run really fast and is a tall receiver.”The four-star recruit caught 900 yards and 15 touchdowns his junior season at Rayville.”He will wind up being a good player for LSU,” Barton said. “He’s a hard worker, and he’s a touchdown maker.”Carneal AinsworthAinsworth (6-foot-4-inches, 296 pounds), Rivals’ No. 17 offensive guard, helped lead Parkview Baptist to the 2007 3A State Championship.”We’ve won 25 games and only lost two while he was here,” Parkview Baptist coach Kenny Guillot said. “He has been an impact player for us.”Ainsworth must “get bigger, stronger, faster and understand the schemes” if he plans to start at LSU, Guillot said. The Baton Rouge native should contribute at LSU as he did at Parkview, Guillot added. “Hopefully they will win a national championship while he’s there and hopefully he’ll be a major contributor to the offensive line,” Guillot said.Other Rivals four-star recruits committed to LSU include offensive linemen Chris Faulk (Slidell) and Stavion Lowe (Brownwood, Texas), defensive end Michael Brockers (Houston), defensive tackles Aklem Hicks (Sacramento, Ca.) and Josh Downs (Bastrop) and linebacker Kevin Minter (Suwanee, Ga.).—-Contact Michael Lambert at [email protected]
