LSU coach [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] has named the team captains for the 2023 campaign.
Quarterback Jayden Daniels, offensive lineman [autotag]Will Campbell[/autotag], defensive lineman [autotag]Mekhi Wingo[/autotag] and defensive back [autotag]Greg Brooks Jr.[/autotag] were chosen as the team’s leaders for the upcoming season.
The selections are hardly surprising. Daniels enters his fifth year as a starting quarterback in college and was a preseason All-SEC selection. Brooks also enters his fifth season, and the pair of former transfers should anchor each side of the ball in their final seasons.
Campbell and Wingo are younger, but both were chosen to wear the honorary No. 7 and No. 18 jerseys, respectively. Wingo also represented the team at SEC Media Days along with Daniels and running back [autotag]Josh Williams[/autotag].
Proud to announce the captains for the 2023 season as selected by our team

LSU kicks off the 2023 season Sunday night in Orlando against Florida State as it looks to avenge a season-opening loss from last fall.
