🔼  Keep ‘Em Comin’. The national honors continue to roll in for some LSU football players. Jayden Daniels, Malik Nabers, and Brian Thomas Jr. were named AP All-Americans yesterday! Jayden and Malik landed on the First Team while Brian Thomas Jr., who leads the nation in receiving touchdowns, landed on the Third Team. Jayden and Malik were also named FWAA First-Team All-Americans.

🔼 World Class. Former Tiger Mondo Duplantis was named the 2023 World Athletics’ Athlete of the Year! This is the third time he’s earned this honor, tying for second-most all-time. This year, he improved on his world record indoors and outdoors, defended his world title, and racked up another 20 clearances at 6.00m or higher. Mondo won 16 of his 17 competitions this season.

🔼 Start The Countdown. The 2024 baseball non-conference game times are here! The Tigers will open things up at 2pm on February 16 against VMI at Alex Box Stadium. LSU has 21 returners from the 2023 National Championship team, plus the No. 3 rated recruiting class by Baseball America.

🔼 Let’s Have Some Fun. The 7th-ranked women’s basketball team will host McNeese tonight at 7pm. This is LSU’s second game in just three days.
