Who's wearing beloved No. 18 jersey for LSU football this season?
LSU football senior center Braelin Moore will become the second offensive linemen bestowed the No. 18 jersey.
Baton Rouge - The LSU football team has announced that senior center Braelin Moore will be wearing the beloved No. 18 jersey for the 2026 season, under new head coach Lane Kiffin's first year with the Tigers. The tradition of the No. 18 jersey dates back more than two decades, with the first recipient being quarterback Matt Mauck in 2003, who led LSU to a national championship.
Since then, the jersey has been awarded to players who exemplify being great teammates and possess the intangibles needed to lead the team. Moore, who transferred to LSU from Virginia Tech, has become a vital piece of Kiffin's first roster and is one of the higher numbers on LSU's roster this year, having played in 40 games. Previous recipients of the No. 18 jersey include quarterbacks Garrett Nussmeier in 2025, defensive lineman Mekhi Wingo in 2023, and offensive lineman Christian LaCouture in 2018.
