Smartest Athletes to come out of of LSU

Was watching Miami - Bethune Cookman yesterday and they showed their "Scholar Athletes" and it was someone with a 3.1 in mass communications and and the other guy with a 3.3 in art history.
Not bad GPAs per se but it's kinda like damn that's the best you can do.
Anyway, was just wondering if you could think of any ex players that were smart in the classroom and not just good on the football field or basketball court.
I remember Rudy Niswanger having a 3.9 in Pre Med. Something like that.

Plenty of doctors, engineers, lawyers etc. Too many to name
I did have a teammate that graduated 4.0 in Biology who got into every med school imaginable but that was too boring so he is a legit research scientist for a company in Sweden now.
Funny little reindeer that guy is

Always been impressed with former LB Theo Williams. Contributed 3 years for LSU.
Then went United States Air Force, Airborne School, NASA's aerospace program and now works for the FBI as a special agent fighting against child sex trafficking. Pretty damn cool

Didn’t Matt Mauck go to dentistry school?
ETA: He’s a DDS out in Aurora, CO, so he must have had his head on his shoulders. He was on the SEC honor roll.

Niswanger won the academic Heisman, pretty impressive for a top tier SEC player.
