The pocket of protection for new LSU quarterback Zach Mettenberger is spacious.
LSU coach Les Miles is not allowing the junior college transfer from Butler Community College in El Dorado, Kan., to be interviewed.
LSU officials in admissions, at the women's center and on the disciplinary review committee are either very tight lipped or silent about Mettenberger, the No. 1 junior college quarterback prospect in the nation who begins spring practice with the rest of the LSU football team on Friday as a sophomore.
Mettenberger, who originally signed with Georgia in 2009 out of Oconee County High in Watkinsville, Ga., (near the Georgia campus) as the No. 11 pro style quarterback in the nation, is expected to contend for the starting job, if not become LSU's starter next season.
