I know a lot of people on here have said Jalen Mills but I'm not sure they give it to him with this whole battery thing on him. I don't know if they ever proved that it was actually him who hit the girl or if it was another girl and I know he technically isn't going to trial but it would just seem iffy for them to award him the award that sort of represents what it means to be a tiger. So with that in mind, thoughts?

If not for his legal issues, Mills.

Now? Man, I don't know. He's a junior but maybe Tre White along with your list, big herm.

I say Tre White. Junior, but has been a great Tiger in every way shape or form.

If a junior got it I would hope it would be T.White.

Gordon or Louis


Both are deserving in their own ways.


Louis played hurt in 2013 -- Injury free, Lamar Louis heads into 2014 ready to make a splash for LSU

quote:

Lamar Louis winged it last season.

During a recent interview, the LSU linebacker explains, visually, how a fractured right wrist changed the way he played football.

Louis brings his right arm across his body so his hand and forearm are against his chest. Keeping his hand there, Louis thrusts out his elbow and forearm.

Louis isn’t performing the Chicken Dance with one wing. He’s illustrating just how he attempted to shed blocks last season.

“Can’t tell you how I did it,” he said, “but I was playing with a wing.”

The 2013 version of Lewis was a one-handed, one-winged reserve who felt a surge of pain each time his broken wrist took any kind of hit.

quote:

For the first time in nearly a year, Louis will play without a cast covering much of his hand. He fractured a bone in his wrist — near the thumb — late during fall camp last year while attempting to catch himself falling.

He played with the injury for a month before getting the cast. He didn’t realize it was broken.

“It was pretty painful,” he said. “Basically, I couldn’t use my hand. If I’m not using it, I was OK, but being a linebacker, having to shed blocks, I had to use it. Whenever I would punch, it was horrible. I had to use my elbows.”

He winged it.

Louis’ cast covered his palm and left his fingers exposed and flexible — except the primary finger, the thumb.

He didn’t miss a game.

“He didn’t miss a beat,” defensive end Jermauria Rasco said.

“Lamar Louis is a tough kid, a quality person really committed to his team,” coach Les Miles said. “When asked to play with pain, really by his teammates, he just kind of stepped in and did that. Honestly, it’s a real sacrifice for his teammates.”

Louis had surgery in January following LSU’s win over Iowa in the Outback Bowl. Doctors replaced the fractured bone with one from his knee, he said.

Louis has an inch-long scar on the under side of his wrist, just where it meets the hand.

The criteria as I understand it: senior who has shown leadership and good attitude and plays (doesn't have to start). I believe it is just senior leader bc Magee and barrow before him were not our most talented players.

Id think it would be between Louis and Dillon Gordon(not sure about TE rule numbers), I ruled out mills bc of off the field distraction whether true or not.

Would probably had gone to vadal or Hawkins for staying if not for # rule.

I don't recall it ever being a jr once it became a known tradition. Brandon Taylor being the first. I think it was just Hester and dicksons number, though the lineage of the number being a team leader can be traced back to mauck.

Edit: I stand corrected, Logan was a RS JR in 2012 and wore #18. I guess everyone is in play now

Possibly. Depends on locker room stuff we don't know about. Louis having started more games is why I gave him the nod.

#18 also goes to a player that has overcome adversity while at LSU and did that by hard work, discipline, patience, etc. It's more than just a high character and leadership award.

And that could be Dural.

It's an offensive player, so I'm going to go with, given offensive achievements and our ability to evaluate talent... Man, this is tough.

I'm gonna say Leonard Fournette.

#7 to Jamal Adams.

It's someone who has sacrificed for the team and been hurt or played hurt and is a leader and a senior. That's the criteria. Lamar Louis will probably get it especially if he gets a starting lb spot
