Seimone Augustus, a two-time Naismith Player of the Year and four-time WNBA champion, will become the first female student-athlete in LSU history to receive her own statue, the university announced in a release Monday afternoon.
Augustus, a Baton Rouge native and the school’s most decorated female student-athlete, will become the fourth former Tigers player—joining Bob Pettit, Shaquille O’Neal and Pete Maravich—to have a statue outside of the Maravich Assembly Center, home to LSU’s basketball programs.
“A Seimone Augustus statue is befitting for a student-athlete whose talents, accomplishments and impact will forever stand the test of time,” LSU Director of Athletics Scott Woodward said in a statement.
