LSU Players Will All Register to Vote Ahead of 2020 Election, Ed Orgeron Says

LSU head football coach Ed Orgeron said Tuesday the entire Tigers roster is going to register to vote before the 2020 United States elections.

Orgeron explained on ESPN Radio Baton Rouge (via Glen West of Sports Illustrated) that it's one of the ideas to come out of a leadership meeting with players and coaches as the defending national champions return to voluntary workouts amid the coronavirus pandemic.

"I talked to them about specific stuff that's going on in our world today and I had a leadership committee, 12 of our guys, we got together and voice their opinion for us to come up with a solution," he said.
