Good for the kid, seems to have been hard working all 4 years and earned this.

He went to Ponch with some of my friends from college. They said his baby picture was on top of the Christmas tree in the physical trainers room, and it was supposed to symbolize he was a gym rat or something among those lines. I'll work on getting the picture of it

This isn't the first time he got a scholarship late from LSU. Miles put him on scholarship 2 years in fall camp also.

It is great to see another Toula boy rocking the Purple and Gold Geaux Green Wave!!!

He also stood out in the closed scrimmage that was moved to the indoor facility before the Spring game.

I love seeing stories like this where a walk-on receives a scholarship. He redshirted his freshman year, so it sounds like his hard work and perseverance has paid off! Congrats Mr. Rucker!
