Ferguson is a 2018 LSU graduate in marketing, a three-time Southeastern Conference Academic Honor Roll member and the Chair of the SEC Football Leadership Council. A two-year starter for the Tigers as long snapper, Ferguson has handled the snap for every field goal, point-after touchdown attempt and punt in all 15 games.

After being diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes seven years ago, Ferguson has made it a priority to advocate for the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and their research initiatives, as well as diabetes prevention across the nation.

He traveled to Washington D.C. with his brother Reid, a four-year starter at long snapper for the Tigers and now a member of the Buffalo Bills, to represent Team Tackle. Ferguson shared his story as a Type 1 Diabetic with members of Congress in the ADA’s annual Call to Congress.
