Magee to Represent LSU at SEC Media Days

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.
