Sullivan had always lived in poverty. Neither of his parents, Yvonee and Ronnie Simon, graduated from high school, and they struggled to support four boys. Sullivan bounced between Texas and Louisiana. He felt embarrassed when the school bus picked him up from the hotel. His parents incarcerated, Sullivan slept below the bridge for a few nights until his little league football coach, A.D. Jenkins, picked him up at a gym. "I don't really try to remind myself of what I went through," Sullivan said. "I try to block it out. Me telling people and me talking about it, it still hurts a little bit."

Sullivan hasn't told most of his friends about his life, much less the public. The family he lived with in high school didn't know he once slept under a bridge. So why did Sullivan share this at a media session near the beginning of LSU's preseason camp? Sullivan spoke because, last Friday, the senior tight end graduated from LSU. As he walked across the stage as the first person in his family to receive a college degree, Sullivan thought about his life. The bridge. The nights he didn't eat. The constant struggle to find clothes. He had changed his life, accomplished something he never dreamed of, and he wanted people to find inspiration in his story. "If I can do it," Sullivan said, "you can do it." - Baton Rouge Advocate

08/08/19 - *Thaddeus Moss, rSo/2020, LSU, 6-2, 250 (DS#6 TE) + More +

Moss hasn't missed a day since the Tigers first put on the pads last Friday. Still, he acknowledges, it isn't a game. And a football game is something the tight end, son of Pro Football Hall of Fame receiver Randy Moss, hasn't taken part in for a very long time. It has been nearly three years in fact. Three years since the Charlotte, North Carolina, native played his last game as a freshman at North Carolina State. He then decided to transfer to LSU in 2017 but by rule had to sit out. There was one season gone. Then injury, the first serious physical setback of his career, claimed another.

It was the first week of June 2018 and Moss, like most all college players, was taking part in summer drills when he felt a pop in his left foot. "I was doing a one-on-one rep with (linebacker) Ray Thornton," Moss said. "A route I've run a thousand times before. I didn't step on his foot or anything. I thought I rolled my ankle because I couldn't walk well on it." When he finally went in for treatment he almost jumped off the examining table when LSU trainers touched his foot. It felt like fire. He had fractured the fifth metatarsal of his left foot, one of the bones in the middle of the foot that attach to the toes and give a foot its arch. Surgery was needed, but unfortunately for Moss it didn't do the job. "The type of fracture I had, the doctors said they hadn't seen that before," Moss said. "My foot was essentially still fractured last year even though I had the surgery." - Baton Rouge Advocate

08/05/19 - *KLavon Chaisson, rSo/2020, LSU, 6-3, 254 (DS#3 OLB) + More +

Though his promising sophomore season ended before it really started, Chaisson considered himself lucky. He thought about Ryan Shazier, the Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker who injured his spine. Shazier has not played football in almost two years. He had to re-learn how to walk. Chaisson did not participate in contact portions of spring practice - he thought he could have - but he showed progress. He exploded through drills, and he received praise from coach Ed Orgeron, who believes Chaisson can have 12 to 15 sacks this fall.

"Him rushing off the edge," safety Grant Delpit said, "we know we've got guaranteed pressure on that side." "You're not going to be able to block K'Lavon one-on-one," quarterback Joe Burrow said. Last Thursday, the night before LSU began preseason practice, Chaisson received LSU's coveted No. 18 jersey along with center Lloyd Cushenberry. - Baton Rouge Advocate
