LSU football had quite the run in 2019, recording an undefeated season and capping it all off with a national championship victory over a historically dominant Clemson team.
Now, in 2020, the Tigers look to defend their title after suffering the loss of 14 players to the draft and several coaches and assistants taking new opportunities after the title game win.
Part of the team’s future success is going to come down to strength at tight end, which Class of 2021 prospect Michael Trigg could factor into.
On Thursday, Trigg, out of Tampa, Florida cut his list of 49 programs down to just three.

Trigg has received offers in both basketball and football, so it will be interesting to see which sport he ultimately chooses to go with as he prepares to begin his college athletics career — or if he decides to play in both.
Trigg knows what he brings to the table for a school like LSU.
“I’ve always had good hands but I’ve been working a lot on my speed this offseason and I also want to get stronger,” Trigg said. “Training for basketball helps with your wind because you’re running up and down the court without stopping. So they really complement each other.”
