BATON ROUGE — Jim Hawthorne, the voice of the LSU Tigers for the past 20 years, was presented with the “Nth Degree” award from Northwestern State University on Wednesday night in Natchitoches prior to the LSU-Northwestern State baseball game.
Hawthorne, a 1967 graduate of Northwestern State, was presented with the “Nth Degree” award as a tribute to the positive image he has portrayed of his alma mater during his broadcasting career.
Hawthorne, a play-by-play veteran of over 30 years, has been the voice of LSU football, men’s basketball and baseball since the early 1980’s.
