Right as I was going to go to bed Thursday night, LSU announced the recipients of the hallowed No. 18 jersey and handed out another No. 7.
Running back Josh Williams and linebacker Greg Penn III will both wear the No. 18 jersey this year. If this is your first LSU football season, the No. 18 is maybe the single biggest honor the football program can bestow on a player. The 18 is given out to the person who best represents what it means to be a Tiger and Williams and Penn both fit the bill.
Williams is a sixth-year senior and one of two remaining players from LSU’s 2019 national championship team.
