🎥 LSU PLUS: THE PATH

The Path | All In | S4 EP 9

Behind interim head coach Frank Wilson, LSU Football travels to Tuscaloosa for a primetime showdown with No. 4 Alabama. The Tigers – looking to play spoiler against an SEC foe – remain focused and committed to finishing the season strong.

🔼 One Of The Best. LSU senior cornerback Mansoor Delane is a semifinalist for the 2025 Bednarik Award, given each year to the college defensive player of the year. Delane leads the Tigers and is fourth in the SEC in passes defended, has one interception, and eight pass break ups. As a whole, the Tigers rank second in the conference in pass efficiency defense, giving up just a 58 percent completion rate and eight passing touchdowns.

🔼 Keep Watch. Arni Sveinsson is one of 25 athletes named to the 2025-26 Haskins Award Final Fall Watch List. The LSU men’s golfer is given to the top male golfer at the end of each season. Sveinsson has earned two SEC Player of the Week honors in three tournaments.

🔼 Bump, Set, Spike. LSU volleyball begins the last week of the regular season, playing on the road with Georgia, then hosting Auburn. The Tigers square off against Georgia tonight at 6 p.m. on the SEC Network, while they welcome Auburn on Friday, Nov. 14 at 7 p.m. on SEC Network+. Full preview here.

🔼 Weekly Honors. LSU swimmer Jere Hribar and LSU diver Carson Paul earned SEC Men’s Swimmer and Diver of the Week, respectively, after their strong performances last week. Hribar set two individual pool records last Friday, while Paul recorded his season-best scores on the 1-meter and 3-meter dives.
