During his playing days at LSU, Jacob Hester was a gritty running back, a crowd favorite and finally a national champion. Now, he’s working to boost the Tigers in a new role.
Hester is serving as the honorary National Fund Chair of the university’s Alumni Association for 2018, the school announced.
Hester, who wore No. 18 during his playing career, will appropriately lead the fund during the 2018 calendar year.
A part-time player during his first three seasons with the Tigers, Hester took over as the feature back during the 2007 national championship season under Les Miles.
