With two injuries holding him back in previous seasons, linebacker Corey Thompson is eager to step back onto the field and motivate his teammates in the 2017 season.
“From a leadership standpoint, I want to motivate my teammates to be better football players and to be better outside of the game,” Thompson explained.
Looking back at his years at LSU, Thompson is grateful that he signed and attended LSU as a student-athlete despite challenges he faced.
“It’s not easy being a student-athlete,” Thompson said. “I learned a lot from school and from the football program. I did a lot of growing, learning and it challenged me, but looking back at it, I appreciate everything I went through.
