# 📰 **ESPN Report: Tigers Analyst Deduces LSU’s Stance on Dylan Crews from Scott Boras’ Remarks, as Head Coach Jay Johnson Makes His Position Clear…See More…**
**Baton Rouge, LA —** In the midst of mounting speculation about the professional trajectory and ongoing influence of LSU legend **Dylan Crews**, a cryptic remark from MLB super-agent **Scott Boras** has ignited fresh conversations around the outfielder’s legacy — and his future with the LSU Tigers baseball program, at least in a mentorship or symbolic role.
The comment in question came during a press conference where Boras discussed the value of collegiate relationships in a player’s development. Though he didn’t name Crews outright, the implication struck a chord with fans and analysts in Baton Rouge.
> *“Some players leave college and never really leave it at all,”* Boras said. *“They remain connected to the program, the culture, the winning mindset — because those places shaped who they are. And that kind of bond? It doesn’t end when they go pro.”*
It didn’t take long for LSU insiders and analysts to suggest the quote referred to **Dylan Crews**, the 2023 Golden Spikes Award winner, College World Series champion, and one of the most iconic players in LSU history. Crews, now in the Washington Nationals organization, has maintained close ties to LSU since departing for the MLB.
According to multiple sources within LSU Athletics, **Crews has remained active behind the scenes**, mentoring current players via Zoom, offering offseason guidance, and even attending team events when his professional schedule permits. That connection hasn’t gone unnoticed — and neither has Boras’ remark.
In response to the sudden media buzz, **LSU head coach Jay Johnson** offered a rare glimpse into the depth of the relationship between Crews and the program.
> *“Dylan is LSU through and through,”* Johnson told reporters. *“He may be wearing a Nationals jersey now, but his DNA is forever purple and gold. Whether it’s recruiting, culture, or championship standards — Dylan continues to be a pillar of this program.”*
Johnson went on to clarify that while there are no formal plans for Crews to take on a coaching or ambassadorial role, **the door is “always open.”** The statement left fans wondering if the program might eventually welcome Crews back in a more official capacity — possibly as a future advisor, developmental mentor, or offseason instructor.
> *“He doesn’t need a title to impact this team,”* Johnson added. *“He’s already doing that — because our guys look up to him the way Yankees looked at Jeter.”*
The remarks also arrive at a pivotal time as LSU looks to reload and defend its elite status in the SEC. Having figures like Crews associated with the team could be crucial in preserving the culture and drawing top recruits in an increasingly competitive NIL and transfer portal era.
For now, Boras’ subtle praise and Johnson’s direct endorsement reinforce what Tigers fans already know: **Dylan Crews may have graduated, but his legacy is still very much on campus.**
