🔼 We Got 5 On It. There were five Tigers named to the D1 Baseball Top 100 College Prospects List for the 2024 MLB Draft. Tommy White is No. 7 on the list, Luke Holman at 12, Thatcher Hurd at 35, Paxton Kling at 50, and Gage Jump is No. 62. Tommy finished the season at the top of the nation in RBIs. Thatcher was named the winning pitcher in the 2023 College World Series Championship Game.
🔼 Tigers Go Down To Georgia. The soccer team is headed to Athens for an SEC match at Georgia tonight at 5pm. The Bulldogs are coming off a road win against Alabama. Ten different Tigers have found themselves on the scoresheet this season, combining for 22 goals. Taylor Dobbles and Ida Hermannsdottir lead the team with four goals each. You can watch tonight’s game on SEC Network+.
🔼 Play Ball. The SEC released the 2024 SEC softball schedule yesterday that included 24 conference games for LSU. The Tigers’ home opener is set for March 15-17 when Ole Miss comes to Tiger Park. Texas A&M, Auburn, and Arkansas will also be coming to Tiger Park. LSU will hit the road for games against Missouri, Florida, Kentucky and Tennessee.

🔼 Double Trouble. Dual-sport athlete Nyla Sheperd Moore will be inducted into the LSU Athletics Hall of Fame tomorrow at 6:30pm. She was a volleyball star, leading the Tigers to two Final Fours and three straight SEC Tournament titles in the early ‘90’s. She broke the program record with 1,735 kills and she still ranks No. 2 all-time at LSU. She played basketball for the Tigers before deciding to focus solely on volleyball. Today, she’ll referee in the SEC and Big 12 while managing club volleyball tournaments in Houston.
