SPORTS ETC.: Jalen Shead, a multi-sport star who plays tight end on the Olive Branch football team, last weekend announced he was committing to play football next season at defending national champion LSU. Shead made the announcement on his Twitter account. Reports are that he chose the Tigers over 20 other schools, including Memphis, Ole Miss, and Alabama. Shead caught only two passes for the Conquistadors last season for a total of 43 yards but became a three-star prospect ahead of this season. Shead also played basketball at Olive Branch, where he helped the Quistors to the MHSAA 6A state quarterfinals.
