Two Tigers Receive The Prestigious No. 18 For The 2019 Season

by Staff Reporter

August 1, 201925 Comments

Head coach Ed Orgeron announced Thursday night that LSU center Lloyd Cushenberry and outside linebacker K'Lavon Chaisson have been given the No. 18 jersey for the 2019 season. Per LSUSports.net:

quote:
Cushenberry, a junior from Dutchtown High School in Carville, becomes the first offensive lineman to wear No. 18. Chaisson is a redshirt sophomore from North Shore High School in Houston.

Both players were presented their new number at a team meeting that wrapped up LSU’s first day of training camp.

As an offensive lineman, the rules of college football prevent Cushenberry from actually wearing the No. 18 jersey so instead, his No. 79 jersey will be accompanied by a No. 18 patch. Chaisson, who wore No. 4 a year ago, will wear No. 18 on the field.

Didn’t see that coming with Chaisson. The 18 has been typically reserved for seniors. I would have thought Lawrence or Divinity on defense.

Remember T.White wore it his Jr. And Senior year

I really like the #18 patch. If were doing this tradition, I like that method a lot.

Dutchtown High isn’t in Carville

Dutchtown High is in Dutchtown................

Thought Divinity would have 18. If Chaissons putting in that kind of work, though... Look out!

Me too

And I thought Burrow had the #18 in the bag.

I know we have high hopes for Cush. How about giving him Faneca's or Mawae's number?

eugene1928LSU•79 months

The only offensive player that should have gotten it is Joe Burrow, double period.. No offense to Cush but this was a perfect year for a QB like Joe to get it, he earned it.

Would love to know know the exact rule about linemen wearing certain numbers. Thought that was only an NFL rule and that college has relaxed the position based numbers.

you get an 18, and you get an 18....this whole locker room gets an 18!!!!!!

crewdepoo•79 months

18 patch? This is getting ridiculous. Give it to burrow. Chassion must be doing great at camp and must be a leader because winning that after not playing the previous year seems odd. Maybe no one wants it

A center wearing the number 18 is just weird.

tigerMike•79 months

reading is fundamental

IntenseKid•79 months

Chaisson wearing 18 will look weird.

ChineseBandit58•79 months

luciouslou•79 months

These days a third year player is a senior
