Mike Miley

Starting quarterback on a powerhouse football team. Played on New Years Day when playing on New Years Day still meant something.

Starting shortstop and first-round draft pick who was starting for the Angels at the time of his death.

The guy was an athletic marvel.

I knew a girl who slept with Jared Mitchell and Keiland Williams in the same day. And not even at the same time. Now THAT is a multi-sport athlete (cleat chaser)

Hodson was an unreal basketball player and had interest from all the big name programs. Obviously didn't play for LSU.

You telling me Kentucky, UNC, UCLA etc were interested in Tommy Hodson for basketball?


I know he was good, but was he really that good?

Parade AA in b-ball. 27pts/game as a Sr. Everyone wanted him. Dude was raining bombs from the time line when we played against him and some other football players in intramurals.

If that’s the standard then let’s throw Michael Clayton out there too.

Alvin Dark - Alvin played football and baseball, but he also ran track and played golf. I have heard others say he is one of the best all around athletes to ever play at LSU.
Rookie of the year in Baseball and coached the Giants for many years.
Really should be in Cooperstown
