LSU No. 18 jersey honor given to Foster Moreau

Foster Moreau was once offered a scholarship to LSU on signing day in 2015. Now a senior tight end, the Jesuit High alum has been awarded the traditional No. 18 jersey for the Tigers’ upcoming season.

The No. 18 is awarded to a player at LSU who is a successful leader on and off the field. Tigers’ 2003 national title-winning quarterback Matt Mauck passed the jersey to fullback Jacob Hester, who helped LSU win another national championship in 2007. Since then, the passing along of No. 18 has been an annual tradition for the program.

Last season, Moreau finished fourth on the team in receptions (24) and yards (278).

As an all-state tight end at Jesuit in 2014, Moreau helped the Blue Jays win the school’s first state championship since 1960.
