LSU Players Give Shreveport-Bossier a Super Bowl Hook

Super Bowl LX is set for Levi’s Stadium on Feb. 8, and the matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots comes with a bonus for Louisiana football fans: a strong LSU alumni presence on both rosters. Louisiana Tiger fans will spot them. 

A Tiger Thread Running Through Both Sidelines

If you are watching from Shreveport or Bossier City, this is the kind of detail that makes the game feel closer to home. Seattle’s offensive line includes guard Anthony Bradford, a former Tiger who lives in the trenches and rarely gets the spotlight unless he is giving it to his quarterback.

New England’s roster reads like a mini roll call of recent LSU eras. Wide receiver Kayshon Boutte, a New Iberia native, is listed alongside tackle Will Campbell, linebacker K'Lavon Chaisson, linebacker Bradyn Swinson, and defensive tackle Jaquelin Roy. That spread touches offense and every level of the defense.  

The LSU Names to Watch on Sunday 

Here is a quick list to look for: 

• Seattle: Anthony Bradford (G) 

• New England: Kayshon Boutte (WR), Will Campbell (T), K'Lavon Chaisson (LB), Bradyn Swinson (LB), Jaquelin Roy (DT) 

Why it Makes a Difference Back Home

For Baton Rouge, it is another national spotlight moment. For the rest of Louisiana, it is proof that Saturday heroes do not disappear when the calendar flips to February.

Fans who watched these guys at Tiger Stadium get to see the same habits on the biggest stage: winning leverage, finishing blocks, squeezing running lanes, and turning one snap into a season-changing play. 

No matter which jersey you pull for, the LSU angle gives this Super Bowl a little extra juice.
