WATCH: Odell Beckham Jr. surprises LSU's team with special gift ahead of TAMU game
Former LSU star Odell Beckham Jr. has kept in touch with the football program even after he’s developed into a star in the NFL with the New York Giants.
This week, he sent the current players each a pair of new Nike shoes he helped develop.
The LSU football Twitter account shared the reveal this way: “Thanksgiving is about family. Odell remembers his in Purple and Gold! Forever LSU!”
“I sent y’all boys some shoes,” he said on a video played during a team meeting. “I recently did some things for Nike, dropped a little shoe. It’s not the signatures, it’s just the first to come out right now.”
The reveal by coach Ed Orgeron drew a reaction from the players as the video showed them opening the LSU gold Nike shoes.
The Tigers are set to kick off against Texas A&M Saturday night and this should add a boost as they look to improve on their 8-3 start.
