Lane Kiffin Shamelessly Attempts To Recruit Louisville QB Lamar Jackson To FAU On Twitter

Actively recruiting players on other teams is like hitting on a girl at a bar who’s holding hands with her boyfriend. Bold, yes, but don’t put it past the dude who trolled Ole Miss after Hugh Freeze made calls to an escort service on a school phone.

Florida Atlantic head coach Lane Kiffin’s confidence is peaking right now. After dropping three of his first four games, FAU is on a three game win streak–winning by an average of 29 points and accumulating 127 points their last two games.

Feeling high on himself, Lane Kiffin has decided to do a little social media recruiting with the biggest name in college football: 2016 Heisman Trophy winner Lamar Jackson. Through eight games this season, the Louisville sensation has amassed nearly 2,500 yards with 17 TDs, and 5 interceptions. God damn superstar. And Kiffin is trying to get him to pick Conference USA over the NFL Draft.

Check out Kiffin’s recently deleted tweets.

Stay in your lane, Kiffin.

Matt’s love of writing was born during a sixth grade assembly when it was announced that his essay titled “Why Drugs Are Bad” had taken first prize in D.A.R.E.’s grade-wide contest. The anti-drug people gave him a $50 savings bond for his brave contribution to crime-fighting, and upon the bond’s maturity 10 years later, he used it to buy his very first bag of marijuana.
