🔼 Elite Eight. SEC media named eight Tigers to the Preseason All-SEC Teams! Will Campbell, Harold Perkins Jr., and all-purpose player Zavion Thomas earned First-Team honors. Emery Jones, Mason Taylor, and Kyren Lacy picked up Second-Team honors on offense. Major Burns earned Second-Team on defense and Zavion Thomas landed on the Second-Team as the return specialist. Slade Roy picked up Third-Team recognition.

🔼 Keep Climbing. The grind continues for former LSU star Sam Burns as he posted his best-ever finish at a major championship, grabbing a spot tied for 31st at this past weekend’s Open Championship across the pond. He is currently ranked as the 27th best golfer in the world.

🔼 Reese’s Pieces. Another Day. Another historic performance for Angel Reese. In front of a record-setting crowd, Reese shined once again, helping Team WNBA to a 117-109 victory over Team USA. She finished with 12 points and 11 rebounds becoming the first rookie in league history to record a double-double in the All-Star game.

🔼 Play It Again. LSU made history, once again, as eight pitchers were taken in the 2024 MLB Draft for the second-straight season. They share the SEC drafted pitchers record with Mississippi State and Vanderbilt. Jay Johnson has made MLB Draft history a few times in his three-year tenure at LSU. Last season, LSU became the first school to produce the first and second overall picks of the draft.
