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

#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 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
