The warm sun is out, the fresh air is blowing, and in south Louisiana the crawfish pots are rolling. When this time of year arrives, it means the LSU campus is being explored by elite high school football talent that could find itself playing for the Tigers in the months to come. This weekend is […]
LSU offensive line coach Eric Wolford visited four-star offensive tackle Kal-El Johnson in Cincinnati this week as the Tigers continue making a strong push for the six-foot-seven, 320-pound recruit. Johnson is regarded as one of the top 10 players in Ohio for the 2027 recruiting cycle and attends Archbishop Moeller High School. Johnson has taken […]
LSU Tigers head baseball coach Jay Johnson spoke with Chessa Bouche of Louisiana First News about the injury woes that plagued the team’s 2026 season and why the Tigers believe they are not far from returning to their winning culture: “I want guys that build their life around baseball & not fit baseball into their life. And I think […]

A couple of weeks ago, Lane Kiffin did an interview with Vanity Fair and made comments regarding the challenges he faced recruiting players while at Ole Miss. However, those comments did not go over well and sparked significant backlash online. Since then, the SEC and Ole Miss have reportedly been in contact regarding a potential […]
Following the announcement of LSU’s week two contest versus Louisiana Tech being scheduled for a 6:30 p.m. CST kickoff, the Tigers’ first year under the helm of head coach Lane Kiffin will begin with three straight night games. Although we are still about 100 days from the team’s season opener, it will soon once again […]
Hello Tiger fans! It’s a new era for LSU and here at And The Valley Shook, so before we get too involved with covering all of the amazing things happening in Baton Rouge, I just wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself and your mostly new ATVS writing staff. My name is Tina Howell, […]
Let’s get back into things. The national runner-up LSU gymnastics team appears to have locked in their transfer portal class for the 2027 season. The Tigers got commitments from three senior gymnasts at various points, including one during the season itself, who each bring an interesting dynamic to the upcoming season. Two of them are […]
Five-star defensive lineman Jalen Brewster is headed to Baton Rouge for an official visit with Lane Kiffin this weekend. While one of the top defensive players in the country had already committed to Texas Tech back on October 4, 2025, that hasn’t stopped other programs from attempting to flip Brewster. Florida, Ohio State, Indiana, and Texas […]
And the Valley Shook has been such a massive part of my life since I first stumbled upon this website. To me, it was the best place to get any and all LSU content on the Internet. Whether it was Billy’s Xs and Os breakdowns, or Zach Rau’s Life as an LSU Bandsmen posts, if […]
Unfortunately for LSU the 2026 baseball season has officially come to a close before Memorial Day as the Tigers (30-28) fell to Auburn (37-18) 3-1 in round two of the SEC Tournament. “Our players gave everything they had in this tournament,” Jay Johnson said. “I thought our players fought and gave great effort throughout the […]
There was a great disturbance in The Force last night and it sounded like a guttural “geaux tigahs.” Ed Orgeron is returning to LSU football. He is joining Lane Kiffin’s staff in a “special assistant to recruiting and defense” role. Orgeron has worked under Kiffin at both Tennessee and USC, and Kiffin mentioned Coach O […]
LSU’s final stand began last night in Hoover and the Tigers (30-27) extended its season by another day and knocked out Oklahoma (32-21) 6-2. “I thought we played really good baseball tonight,” Jay Johnson said after the win. “We pitched well and we hit well;; if we do that, we have a chance to win […]
My sister graduated from grad school last weekend and I was unable to see a single pitch of LSU’s series against Georgia, which is unfortunate because I missed the Dawgs essentially end LSU’s season and rendered this weekend against Florida meaningless. Florida (35-18, 16-12) jumped on LSU (29-25, 9-19) early and held on late for […]
If it wasn’t obvious that LSU-Clemson is the biggest game for week 1 of the 2026 season, the TV overlords over at Disney have officially given it their blessing. The good people of College Gameday will in fact be comin’ to your citaaaayyyy to open up the college football season, as the show announced Tuesday […]
The Tigers have a pulse. LSU (29-21, 9-15) got a desperately-needed sweep over lowly South Carolina (22-28, 7-17) to at least keep the Tigers’ postseason aspirations alive for another week. While LSU’s NCAA Tournament outlook is cloudy at best, one can’t help but think the future is bright thanks to some blossoming freshmen. Saturday (Game […]
The 2026 LSU Baseball team isn’t just bad, they are now awful at historic levels. The Tigers (24-21, 6-15) were swept for a third consecutive weekend, this time on the road in Starkville, and have now lost a program-record nine straight SEC games. Even more agonizing for LSU is the Tigers scored three runs in […]
The 2026 NFL Draft has come and gone, and with it went six more former Tigers who heard their names called over Friday night and Saturday afternoon. Friday night, the second day of the draft, was a bit quieter than most expected from an LSU perspective. AJ Haulcy was the second Tiger selected and waited […]
Stop me when you’ve heard this one before: an LSU defensive back was selected in the top-10 of the NFL Draft. Mansoor Delane made his one and only season in Baton Rouge count: he was a Thorpe Award finalist, a unanimous All-American selection, and now he can add No. 6 overall pick to his résumé. […]
It’s been a brutal 24 hours or so for Jay Johnson and the 2026 LSU baseball team. If the product on the field wasn’t bad enough, somehow things have gotten even worse off of it, and at this point I think LSU’s title defense is now entering “season from hell territory.” Last night on his […]
Following LSU’s 10-4 loss to #10 Texas A&M, Jay Johnson said he made a mistake in constructing this year’s roster. Despite being called out so publicly, his roster proved him correct. The Tigers (23-18, 6-12) couldn’t muster any pride and suffered the humiliation of being swept by the Aggies (31-7, 12-5) for a second consecutive […]
It wasn’t meant to be, after all. The #2 LSU gymnastics team finished their season as national runners-up once again. The Tigers put up a solid 198.0750, but Oklahoma’s 198.1625 was enough to win them their eighth national championship. LSU beat Florida’s 197.6875 to give them their third straight season with a better finish than […]
These baseball recaps are getting easier to write up. LSU (23-17. 6-11) has lost a second consecutive SEC weekend, losing game two of its series against #10 Texas A&M (30-7, 11-5) 7-2 Saturday evening at The Box. After getting back to .500 in league play two weekends ago against Tennessee, LSU has now dropped five […]
Welcome to the biggest stage in the sport once again. The #2 LSU gymnastics team is back in the final meet of the season for the 11th time in 18 seasons. Today, the Tigers face #1 Oklahoma, #3 Florida and #13 Minnesota for a chance at their second national title in three years. The path […]
