Potential LSU starting cornerback suspended, might not face USC on September 1

LSU’s secondary might not be intact for Week 1 against USC.

The USC Trojans face the LSU Tigers on Sept. 1 in Las Vegas, in a massive Week 1 college football showdown. One of the central tension points entering this game is that USC and LSU face tons of uncertainties on their rosters. USC has an unproven quarterback, Miller Moss, going against an unproven LSU secondary which struggled last year. Javien Toviano was part of that secondary. As a sophomore in 2024, Toviano was expected to contend for a starting role at LSU. Now, his playing status for the big game against USC is in jeopardy.

LSU Tigers Wire has more on this story:

Potential starting LSU cornerback Javien Toviano has been arrested on charges of video voyeurism, according to a report from The Advocate.

Toviano turned himself in on Sunday, according to the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office.

LSU Wire added this note about Toviano:

Toviano is entering his sophomore season, and the former four-star recruit from Arlington, Texas, appeared in 13 games with three starts as a true freshman in 2023. He was expected to compete for a potential starting spot this season, as well.
