BATON ROUGE – LSU men’s basketball coach Johnny Jones for the second time this year has rewarded loyalty and hard work by granting walk-on Brandon Eddlestone a scholarship for the 2016-17 men’s basketball season.
It was earlier this year prior to the spring semester that Jones gave a scholarship to now graduated walk-on Henry Shortess.
Eddlestone is in his fourth season with the LSU program and came to Baton Rouge after prepping at Northshore High School in Slidell, lettering four years under Coach Joey Tolis. He was named first team All-District and District MVP and was an All-State Honorable Mention selection by the Louisiana Sports Writers Association.
