Mikaylah Williams is stepping into the spotlight as LSU’s top scorer and potential top-10 WNBA draft pick, carrying a heavy offensive load without Flau’jae Johnson. Known for her scoring versatility and strength, she’s thriving under coach Kim Mulkey’s freedom to create her own shots, averaging over 15 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists per game while improving her efficiency. Though past critiques focused on her defense—particularly staying with players off-ball and conditioning—she’s shown marked improvement, including a career-high five steals last season. As one of the few senior starters, she’s also taking on a leadership role, needing to prove she can be a reliable primary option and defensive anchor to solidify her elite draft stock.

LSU swim and dive kicks off their season with a high-stakes intrasquad showdown—Purple vs. Gold—to test depth, sharpen form, and prep for SEC battles ahead. Coach Rick Bishop’s squad, loaded with 13 freshmen and 2 redshirt returners, uses this meet as a critical gauge before facing Navy and Loyola.

Sam Leavitt is rewriting the script for LSU’s offense, exploding onto the scene with a jaw-dropping 113 rushing yards and two touchdowns against Clemson — proving he’s not just a passer but a dual-threat weapon who thrives under pressure. After sitting out the entire 2025 season following an injury, Leavitt returned hungry and ready, turning every play into a threat. His mobility saved the team from sacks and negative plays, while teammate Winston Watkins called him “electric,” praising his ability to extend drives. With Lane Kiffin raving about his impact and LSU dominating with over 300 rushing yards and zero sacks allowed, Leavitt’s comeback isn’t just impressive — it’s transformative.

LSU’s defense is heating up under Blake Baker’s third season, showing flashes of brilliance but exposing depth issues—especially with backups needing to step up. Head coach Lane Kiffin praised starters but stressed the critical role of reserves, who must deliver game-changing stops. Jordan Ross lit it up with a pick-six, four tackles, and a sack, while Princewill Umanmielen added six tackles and two sacks. Despite holding Clemson to just 145 yards, 71 came during backup play—proof Kiffin’s message is urgent. Next up: LA Tech, where LSU aims to prove every player, starter or not, is ready to execute.
