LSU head football coach Ed Orgeron announced late Tuesday afternoon that Derek Stingley Jr. will wear the famed No. 7 jersey for the 2021 season.
“It’s an honor to be part of the legacy of players that have worn the number 7 jersey,” Stingley said. “I’m looking forward to upholding the tradition and the standard of play that has been set by the group that has come before me.”
LSU prides itself on being DBU and Stingley may be the best the program’s ever had. Stingley has been a two-time All-American and All-SEC selection.
