It is obvious here why Les Miles recruited this fine young man. He, in addition to his great athletic ability, seems to be a young man with a great head on his shoulders and a great future ahead of him in any field he would choose. Glad he will be an LSU Tiger!!!!!!!!

He certainly has charisma and attitude. He will fit in great in Baton Rouge. I have never made it down for a game, its on the list.

Russell Shepard

As a current LSU student, I am excited to hear that Russell will be here for my senior season. LSU football has the most dedicated fans in the nation. The players can expect a full stadium, with the best tailgating in the nation, every home game. Students and fans tolerate a 'lottery-system' to get insidethe stadium for home games. The thousands who cannot get inside for home games share a rich festival atmosphere of watching the game together around the stadium in hundreds of cookout parties surpassing the NFL-experience. Every football fan in the WORLD should camp out for at least one 24-hr LSU Tiger Tailgate Party!
