In the wake of nationwide protests against racism, LSU's football team decided on Tuesday that all of its players would register to vote, coach Ed Orgeron said during an interview with a local radio station.
Orgeron said they held a team meeting in order to discuss the current civil unrest that has come in the aftermath of the killing of George Floyd while in the custody of Minneapolis police officers.
They then held a separate meeting of the leadership council, which included 12 players and some coaches, during which everyone offered solutions to combat racism.
"The guys wanted to take action, to register to vote," Orgeron said.
