Wearing #5️⃣2️⃣ for the Tigers this fall will be redshirt junior linebacker Princeton Malbrue.

To say that Malbrue is hungry is an understatement after the Carencro, La. native suffered a season-ending injury in last year’s season opener against USC.

He is a three-time member of the SEC Academic Honor Roll and is expected to be a integral piece of the LSU defensive unit this fall.
