SEC Football Media Days begin today in Nashville. The defending SEC West champion Tigers are one of three schools set to be featured today. Coach Brian Kelly and players Jayden Daniels, Josh Williams and Mekhi Wingo will face hundreds of reporters as they look forward to a highly anticipated season after the team exceeded expectations in Kelly’s first year. Coming off a ten-win season and trip to the Sec championship, many fans will hope to improve and compete for a national title. Host of the Locked On LSU podcast Caroline Fenton says even of the Tigers fall short of their lofty goals, it doesn’t mean the program has taken a step back…

Kelly has even said in an interview with USA Today that with another year of recruiting, 2024 is a more realistic year to make a title run.
Veteran free agent wide receiver Deandre Hopkins is expected to sign to a two-year $26 million deal with the Titans.

Hopkins, who has consistently been one of the league’s top receivers since being drafted by the Texans in 2013, will visit New Orleans in week one as the Saints open the season in the dome September 10th.
