BATON ROUGE – LSU Athletics Director Scott Woodward invited all 13 student-athletes who will graduate with honors to participate in a breakfast Thursday morning with him and his staff to recognize their impressive academic accomplishments.
In total, eight LSU sports were represented by student-athletes who are scheduled to graduate with honors on Friday. Six student-athletes will graduate with the top summa cum laude honors.
“It was such a pleasure to spend some time honoring the excellence and achievement of our best and brightest student-athletes,” Woodward said. “We celebrate their accomplishments today and look forward to their incredible journey ahead, filled with passion and purpose.”
The breakfast provided opportunities to reflect on numerous victories – both on and off the field – and to celebrate all the hard work that went in to achieving these special honors.
