[autotag]Mekhi Wingo[/autotag] became one of LSU’s best players last fall after transferring from Missouri.
This season, he’ll get head back to his home state to face his former team when LSU and Missouri face on Oct. 7.
When asked if the game had any extra meeting, Wingo said “definitely.”
“I love to come back and play in front of my home crowd,” Wingo said. “Just giving those family members an opportunity to come to a game they may not be able to make it down to in Baton Rouge. I’m definitely gonna need a lot of tickets for that game.”
Wingo said the relationship with his former teammates is still all love and he even got the chance to see some at media days with Missouri’s session later that day.
“It’s gonna be fun seeing my old teammates and my old coaches because I definitely still have that bond and connection with those guys,” he said.
For LSU cornerbacks coach [autotag]Robert Steeples[/autotag], who played a large role in recruiting Wingo, it’ll be a chance to coach in the state where he cut his teeth as a high school coach.
Missouri will have some LSU connections on their sideline too. Defensive coordinator [autotag]Blake Baker[/autotag] was LSU’s linebackers coach in 2021.
