🔼 Prowling Through The ‘Sip. The weekend is just a few hours away, so it’s time to get your game face on! The Tigers take on 20th-ranked Ole Miss tomorrow at 5:00pm. If you aren’t making the trip to Oxford, you can watch on ESPN. The last time the Tigers were in the state of Mississippi, they were defeating Mississippi State, 41-14. Ole Miss is coming off a 24-10 loss to Alabama, while LSU is on a 3-game win streak.

🔼 His Path Prevails. Senior running back Josh Williams was named a semifinalist for the 2023 William V. Campbell Trophy! No, not our Will Campbell — although he does deserve a trophy named after him. The award goes to the best scholar-athlete in college football. Josh is on track to earning his MBA and has contributed to the Tigers success this season. His path hasn’t been easy — he joined the team as a walk-on and was a scout team member in the 2019 season, before earning a scholarship in 2020. He’s played in 38 games and has rushed for seven touchdowns throughout his career.

🔼 Forbes Famous. G-Eazy once said, “look, mama, I made it to Forbes!” Well now, LSU gymnast Olivia Dunne can say the same. She landed at No. 48 on the Forbes Top Creators 2023 list! With 12 million followers, she’s the world’s most-followed college athlete. Check out Livvy’s interview with Forbes! 

🔼 Double The Fun. It’s a busy night in Baton Rouge with SEC matches on the volleyball court and on the soccer field. Soccer kicks things off at 6:00pm taking on Florida, and volleyball is right after at 7:30pm against Missouri. Exclusive free t-shirts will be given to the first 500 fans at the soccer game. Be sure to support the Tigers at both matches! How else would you want to spend your Friday?

🎥 The soccer and volleyball teams had some fun teaching each other how to play their sports, check it out!
