LSU redshirt junior quarterback Sam Leavitt has missed most of the spring while recovering from a Lisfranc foot injury. Coach Lane Kiffin says that even though he has not been able to spend much time on the field, Leavitt has remained engaged and continues to find ways to improve.

Cut 19 (13) “…but mentally also.”

Junior safety Dashawn Spears moved to the STAR position this offseason. Kiffin says it’s one of the most important roles on the field and believes the Denham Springs native did a tremendous job there this spring.

Cut 20 (14) “…we’ve gotten here.”

Now that spring practice is officially over, LSU’s assistant coaches have hit the recruiting trail hard this week, spreading out across the country. Linebackers coach Chris Kiffin has been working in the Baton Rouge area, defensive line coach Sterling Lucas is on the East Coast, and interior defensive line coach Kevin Peoples is in Texas.

The LSU baseball team snapped a three-game losing streak last night with a 12–4 win over Southeastern Louisiana.

UL-Lafayette also got back in the win column last night, run-ruling Southern 15-5 in seven innings to end the Jaguars’ 10-game winning streak. Former Catholic High standout Noah Lewis led the offense with two hits and four RBIs, including a solo home run. The Cajuns host Nicholls tonight at 6 p.m. before taking on Georgia State this weekend.

ULM run-ruled Louisiana Tech 16-5 in seven innings on Tuesday, snapping the Bulldogs’ three-game winning streak. It marked the second time this season the Warhawks have run-ruled Tech. ULM travels to 12th-ranked Southern Miss this weekend, while Louisiana Tech heads to Dallas Baptist.
