When the LSU Tigers take the field next Monday night in New Orleans for the College Football Playoff title game against the Clemson Tigers, one of the main players they’ll have to account for is Louisiana native Travis Etienne.
The dynamic running back has become one of Clemson’s key players over the last two years, rushing for just under 3,200 total yards as a sophomore and junior.
Back in 2016, the Tigers, under then interim Coach O, made a late push during the 2017 recruiting cycle for Etienne, who was rated as the No. 8 player in the state of Louisiana.
