🎥 LSU+: No Timeouts

No Timeouts: Marquel Sutton Talks Early Life, Transition to LSU & More

Get to know LSU's newest star transfer, Marquel Sutton, who comes to Baton Rouge as the 2025 Summit League Player of the Year from Omaha. He joins J.C. Williams on the latest edition of No Timeouts, giving fans some background into his early life, his transition to LSU and some insight into the 2025 Tigers on the hardwood.

🔼 Watch Her. LSU volleyball’s Jurnee Robinson landed on the 2025 AVCA DI Player of the Year Watchlist! Robinson, who was one of 17 players in the nation recognized, went into the weekend’s slate leading the SEC (and eighth overall in DI volleyball) with 4.79 kills per set. Robinson tallied her 1,000th career kill earlier this season, just the 24th player in program history and the 12th in the rally scoring era to do it.

🔼 A Draw. LSU soccer battled No. 17 Georgia to a draw on the road in Athens last night! The Tigers found themselves trailing in the second half after a scoreless first period before Georgia took the lead in the 74 minute. Just three minutes later, an own goal from the Bulldogs knotted the contest at 1-1. Ava Galligan led the way in shots for the Tigers with three, followed by Gabbi Ceballos with two.

🔼 Top Three. The future of LSU baseball is as bright as ever; Baseball America ranked the Tigers with the No. 3 recruiting class heading into the 2026 season. Says Baseball America’s Peter Flaherty:

“LSU is one of very few programs—perhaps the only program—this is flat-out dominant across every facet of the game…Johnson has cultivated an environment in which there is an unbelievable amount of success at both the team and individual level, and that figures to continue so long as he’s at the helm.”

🔼 Best In MLB. Congratulations to Paul Skenes for being named Baseball Digest’s MLB Pitcher of the Year!

🔼 Once In 25 Years. And speaking of LSU baseball, three Tigers landed on the D1 Baseball All-Quarter Century Team! Paul Skenes, Dylan Crews, and Alex Bregman all earned spots as LSU and Oregon State led the nation with three selections each. The team recognizes the best 34 players in college baseball across the last 25 years.

🔼 On The Green. LSU women’s golf will take on the Illini Women’s Invitational this week, with play beginning today in Medinah, Ill. The Medinah Country Club is one of the most iconic in golf lore, having hosted U.S. Opens, PGA Championships, and the Ryder Cup. LSU will play alongside 15 other teams at the 54-hole event, and play will run from Monday through Tuesday.
