And while LSU undeniably has a rich tradition of placing defensive backs in the National Football League, Battle’s decision to enroll at Baton Rouge was not motivated by athletic factors as much as it was to further his education and enjoy the overall campus environment.

“Just when I visited campus, I just fell in love with the football facility and just the school itself,” Battle continued. “I want to major in broadcasting and communications and hopefully I can get in the radio business someday. Just the school itself got my attention.”

Battle’s ability to think long-term is a breath of fresh air in a modern climate where the overall development of young men seems to be a secondary priority.
