BATON ROUGE, La. -- When LSU wide receivers coach Dameyune Craig instructed his players to give themselves nicknames prior to the season, he refused to accept any of Malachi Dupre's selections. Craig would only allow the one he gave to Dupre himself.
"Coach Craig told me whatever I gave myself wasn’t going to be acceptable, because he wanted me to be Mike Tyson regardless," Dupre said.
Observe the laid-back junior for only a few moments and you quickly realize there is nothing about him that is reminiscent of the former heavyweight champion boxer.
