Hey Fighters, All right.

Welcome back to another edition of Hey Fightin' Podcast powered, as always, by Marathon Petroleum. Marathon Petroleum,

get the most out of your drive. Happen to be joined by a long time recurring guest of the podcast

probably holds the record for the most appearances on Hay Fighten Podcast. It's a former LSU national

champion. Now on staff with LSU Football, Jacoby Stevens. Jacoby, good to see you.

Good see you. It's been a long time.

It's been a long time.

It's been a long way.

Come a long way.

I remember doing the first one.

First one we did was in the strength and conditioning equipment, like meeting area.

Now we have a whole studio set up.

I just walked in.

I was like, Lord, have mercy, look at your own set up. I've been thinking about that 19 season a lot because that was the year that we launched the podcast. And you're right, during camp, I basically just pulled up in that meeting room. And I got you, I got Justin, I got clock. Like, I got a good group of y'all just to swing in there and do some interviews with me. Which is like, we went from having to hold the microphone, and now I have a microphone right here. It's being held for you. We've come a long way in the LSU media department, in no small part due to the success of the 2019 LSU football team, which you were key to. So we'll talk about some of that stuff. But before we get into reminiscing, tell our listeners what brings you back.

They've seen the news articles, I'm sure. They've seen some of the photos, but you are

on the sidelines, coaching the team. Just talk about coming back to LSU and pursuing a different

path for your career. Yeah, I think the biggest thing, man, is just the connections and taking care of former players. One thing I want to start off by saying is Scott Woodward's. I wouldn't be here without him. Yeah. Literally, you know, kind of going through a rough patch with the NFL, I reached out to him and see if there's anything available. And he had no reason to text me back, call me back, but he did. And it wasn't even a wait.

It was right off the back. He texted me back and basically got my foot in the door and I was

able to talk with Ms. Beth. And we kind of just went through everything, kind of put down

everything I needed to do in terms of graduating and getting my diploma.

And I joke, and like I said, she probably really doesn't want me to keep saying this,

but she really pushed me to get my degree in Ms. Beth.
