LSU football has announced which players will wear the most legendary numbers within the history and tradition of the Tigers program. Historically, number 18 is given to the player that displays great leadership and personifies the principles and spirit of LSU football going back to Matt Mauck and his leadership for the 2003 team that brought LSU it's first national title game in nearly fifty years. Most recently BJ Ojulari was given the honor and now it will go to defensive lineman Mekhi Wingo. Wingo has been a difference maker on the field since he transferred into the program from Missouri last season and has been just as much if not even more impactful as a leader in the locker room.
Number 7 on the other hand, the second of the two meaningful jersey numbers for the purple and gold, traditionally has gone to the teams best playmaker. Whether it was Patrick Peterson or Tyrann Mathieu who solidified LSU as DBU; or Leonard Fournette or DJ Chark who consistently made explosive plays offensively, that number has always gone to a skill position player. Until now. Sophomore offensive tackle Will Campbell will be the first lineman to ever wear the hallowed number in a shocking yet appropriate decision made by Brian Kelly and the coaching staff.
So what do those moves mean for the leadership of this team? How do LSU Tigers fans feel about the shift in one of the the football program's most revered traditions?
