Without a shadow of a doubt, Paul.

Additionally, he needs to apologize.

That explains the “advocates” part. Not trying to be insensitive but I didn’t quite know what it meant in this context before your post.

I don’t see anything about that anywhere though.

I recognized the name on the graphic, Molly Ann Walke. My kid has met with her in regards to learning about majoring in Speech Pathology. I know that one of Walke's main jobs at LSU is putting together academic plans for athletes that have learning disorders.

I'm assuming that TJ falls into that category based on her name and the wording of the graphic, although I don't know 100% so that's probably a little presumptive of me to say

Some kids who work with a Learning Specialist have a learning disorder. Some are just academically underprepared, struggling with the college transition, a behavioral issue, or sometimes it's just because they are a star player and we want to make damn sure they stay eligible. Advocating for oneself to a professor is hard for a lot of freshmen who are excellent students with no learning disorders.

They give out a few a month and have for years. Usually it's to recognize some academic achievement or example of growth, though they can't say what it is specifically for FERPA.

What does “advocating for oneself to a professor” even mean?

Sounds like talking about any issues you're having with the professor.

Great to see this! I feel like this off season has been pretty postive and that will carry over to the season.

For those who don't read beyond the fifth grade level:
In order to be considered for the SEC Academic Honor Roll, student-athletes must have maintained a 3.0 grade point average for the preceding academic year or must have a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or better. Student-athletes must have also successfully completed 24 semester hours toward a bachelor's degree

LSU's list of SEC Academic Honor Roll members includes true freshmen quarterbacks T.J. Finley and Max Johnson, along with linebacker Damone Clark, offensive tackle Austin Deculus, defensive tackle Neil Farrell Jr., cornerback Jay Ward, and wide receiver Jaray Jenkins.
