The USC Trojans face the LSU Tigers on Sept. 1 in Las Vegas, in a massive Week 1 college football showdown. One of the central tension points entering this game is that USC and LSU face tons of uncertainties on their rosters.
USC has an unproven quarterback, Miller Moss, going against an unproven LSU secondary which struggled last year. Javien Toviano was part of that secondary.
As a sophomore in 2024, Toviano was expected to contend for a starting role at LSU. Now, his playing status for the big game against USC is in jeopardy.
After a suspension that spanned the entirety of the 2023 college football season, Louisiana football wide receiver Lance LeGendre has returned to the team.
UL football officials confirmed to The Daily Advertiser LeGendre’s indefinite suspension has been lifted and that he will be back fully with the Ragin’ Cajuns after finishing rehabilitation on his shoulder that he had surgery on last month.
There’s no definite timetable for LeGendre’s return to the field, officials said.
“He is still a member of the team and has had his indefinite suspension lifted,” team officials said. “After having shoulder surgery in December, he will be rehabbing for the next several months.”
LeGendre, of Netflix’s TV show “QB1” lore where he was featured during his senior season at Warren Easton High School in New Orleans, took to X, formerly known as Twitter, and apologized to UL’s fan base.
“Forgive me Cajun nation,” he wrote. “Before my time is up I will give you guys 110%. That’s my promise in 2024.”
His suspension from the team stemmed from an arrest for charges of battery of a dating partner. LeGendre was booked July 26 following an altercation that happened at 12:01 a.m. at the 200 block of Theatre Street that the University of Louisiana police responded to after a dispute.
Charges against LeGendre were officially dropped back in October and remained suspended through the remainder of the 2023 season.
