Brian Kelly discusses plans for No. 7 and No. 18 jerseys at LSU this season
Brian Kelly is entering his first year at LSU, and he’s switching up the way a couple of traditions are done in Baton Rouge.
On Saturday, Kelly spoke about the No. 7 and No. 18 jerseys, which both hold a level of prestige within the LSU program.
Kelly said he’ll leave it up to the players to decide whether or not those jersey numbers are given out to this year’s crop of Tigers or not:
Brian Kelly said he's done the research on No. 7 and No. 18 and understands the history it holds, but he wants to leave it up to the team as to whether they give the jerseys out to guys this year.
"I'll honor their wishes as to what they decide."

Not seeing a No. 7 jersey or a No. 18 jersey out there for LSU this year would be strange, but it seems Kelly is giving the players a chance to dictate this season.
We’ll see what they decide this spring!
