Good morning, Tigers! Three Tigers landed on the 2026 Perfect Game Preseason All-America teams this week! Derek Curiel earned a first-team nod, while Casan Evans landed on the second team, and Zac Cowan was named to the third team.

What else is mixed into today’s Bayou Brew?

👟 Welcome home
🗓️ The countdown is on
🐯 And so much more!

🔼 More Support. LSU women’s basketball is set to continue to raise awareness and funds for Turner Syndrome at the team’s Feb. 1 game against Alabama. The fight against Turner Syndrome is near to Coach Kim Mulkey, as her daughter delivered a stillborn baby at 20 weeks. LSU will honor Turner Syndrome survivors on the court on Feb. 1, and the team is selling shirts through Friday, Jan. 16, that directly benefit the Turner Syndrome Foundation.

🔼 Signed, Sealed, Delivered. LSU football added six more players out of the transfer portal this week. Two defensive players, three offensive skill players, and a punter will join the LSU roster for the 2026 season. Get to know them better here!

🔼 Welcome Home. LSU Track & Field announced some big additions this week. Keliza Smith joins the program as a six-time Guyanese national champion; she’s spent the past two seasons with Barton CC, where she earned 15 USTFCCCA First Team All-American honors.

LSU also announced the signing of Kishawn Hoffman, a Jamaican U20 medalist and ISAA/Grace Kennedy Boys and Girls Champion. His personal record in the 400h is 50.97 seconds.
