  Draft Scout by Conference









  Star LSU cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. will wear the coveted No. 7 jersey this season. The university announced the number change Tuesday afternoon in a social media post, which included highlights of the former No. 24 that show why the All-American defensive back will join the long list of star defenders to wear the number. Former LSU quarterback TJ Finley opens up about transfer decision, seeking 'best fit for me' The 6-foot-1, 195-pound junior has lived up to his five-star billing in his two seasons in Baton Rouge. Stingley, a Dunham School graduate, has twice been named first-team All-Southeastern Conference and was named a consensus All-American as a true freshman in 2019, when LSU won its fourth national championship in school history.

Stingley missed three games because of injury and non-coronavirus related sickness as a sophomore in 2020. By that point, some believed it was possible he'd be wearing No. 7 already. Former free safety JaCoby Stevens wore the number last season, and, after departing for the NFL draft, Stingley becomes the most recent star defender to receive the honor. "Derek is very deserving of following in the footsteps of some of the great players in LSU history in wearing the No. 7 jersey," LSU coach Ed Orgeron said in a statement. "Derek is an outstanding young man from right here in Baton Rouge who represents our program with tremendous character and a desire to make all of those around him better." - Baton Rouge Advocate
