As part of celebrating Black History Month, LSU_SAA would like to highlight trailblazing athletes throughout February!
For the first week, we have five former athletes we’d like to recognize:
- Lora O. Hinton & Mike Williams (First Black Varsity Football Players at LSU) 1972
- Collis Temple (First Black Basketball Player at LSU, averaged 15.0 PTs and 10.5 REB his senior season, elected to the LSU Athletic HOF in 2017) 1974
- Carl Otis Trimble (First Black QB for LSU, starting from 74-76, averaged 7.2 yards per play his Sr. year) 1974
- Joanette Batiste Boutte (First Black Women’s Basketball and Volleyball player at LSU, 4th all-time in total rebounds [1,017], avg 9.2 PTs and 7.8 REB her Sr. year) 1975.
