Sports Information: Jacob Hester Talks Career in Media, His Love for LSU, NFL Stories & More

Jacob Hester, one of the most recognizable faces for LSU – both as a player and media personality – joins the latest episode of Sports Information. Hester, a former No. 18 and national champion running back, talks about his career in media as host of "Off Campus" on SiriusXM and host of Off The Bench on 104.5 ESPN Baton Rouge, as well as his love for LSU as a native of Shreveport. Plus, Hester shares stories from the NFL and talks about the current age of the transfer portal.

🔼 Road W. No. 6 LSU women’s hoops went on the road to No. 13 Oklahoma on Sunday afternoon and will come back to Baton Rouge with a dominating 91-72 win! Flau’jae Johnson was the leading scorer on the day for the Tigers with a double-double at 23 points and 10 boards, while Jada Richard added 21 points, Grace Knox scored 13, MiLaysia Fulwiley had 12, and Mikaylah Williams added 10.

🔼 Conference Victory. LSU men’s hoops picked up an SEC win over Missouri, 78-70, on Saturday afternoon. Marquel Sutton and Max Mackinnon delivered a combined 46 points in the win. The Tigers are now set for a two-game road trip, taking on Florida on Tuesday at 6 p.m., then Arkansas on Saturday.

🔼 Senior Season. Right-handed pitcher Zac Cowan (No. 10), first baseman Zach Yorke (No. 22), and right-handed pitcher Grant Fontenot (No. 83) earned spots on Perfect Game's Top 100 Seniors list for the 2026 season. Cowan was a First-Team All-SEC selection in 2025, posting a 3-3 record with six saves and a 2.94 ERA in 22 appearances. He delivered a brilliant College World Series start against Arkansas with one run and six strikeouts in over 5.1 innings. Yorke transferred from Grand Canyon, where he hit .328 over three seasons with 32 homers, 157 RBI, and 127 runs. Fontenot joins Cowan in bolstering LSU's pitching depth.

🔼 Spring Win. No. 5 LSU women’s tennis opened the spring slate with a 7-0 sweep over Northwestern State this weekend. The Tigers will play again today at home against San Diego at noon at the LSU Tennis Complex.
