SEC Media Days begin Monday, July 14 and run through
Thursday, July 17. The annual event is a prelude to the upcoming football
season and brings players and head coaches together from each of the 14 SEC
member schools.
A trio of LSU Tigers will take center stage Wednesday
along with Head Coach Les Miles at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Hoover, Alabama.
Franklinton's Terrence Magee is one of three Tigers chosen by Miles to
represent LSU.
Magee and others will face questions from the national
media as well as one-on-one interviews with writers interested in learning more
about the 2014 LSU Tigers. Offensive lineman La’el Collins and linebacker D.J.
Welker are the other two student-athletes that Coach Miles chose to attend.
An all-state quarterback who led the Franklinton Demons
to back-to-back state championship game appearances in 2009 and 2010, Magee
enters his senior season at LSU as the leading returning rusher in an extremely
talented backfield.
After patiently waiting for playing time his freshman and
sophomore years, Magee took advantage of every opportunity in 2013 by rushing
for 626 yards and eight touchdowns on the season. He was named the SEC Player
of the Week after rushing for 149 yards and a touchdown in LSU's win over Texas
A&M in 2013. Magee earned the Alvin Roy Fourth Quarter Award for
outstanding performance in LSU's off-season program and the Eric Andolsek
Leadership Award for his leadership role in spring drills.
Arguably the ultimate compliment comes from the LSU
football website which describes Magee as the "consummate team player who
serves as a role model for younger players".
Being selected to represent LSU at SEC Media Days is a
tremendous honor for any student-athlete and the usually soft-spoken Magee
shouldn't feel any pressure behind the microphones. The former FHS quarterback
led his team to the school’s first state championship in 2010 while earning most
every high school award in the process.
After numerous losses to the NFL draft, Magee will be
looked to more as a leader by his teammates. The Tigers open regular-season
play against Wisconsin on August 30 at NRG Stadium in Houston, TX.
