Kiffin Arrives at Tiger Stadium With Star-Studded Company

Lane Kiffin made a high-profile entrance at Tiger Stadium on November 7, walking from the team bus with a group that included former LSU stars Shaquille O’Neal, Paul Skenes and Angel Reese. Actor Kevin Costner was also with them as LSU prepared for its matchup with Alabama.

O’Neal, Skenes and Reese have strong ties to LSU through their athletic careers. Costner’s connection to the university was not clear, but his presence added another well-known name to the group accompanying Kiffin into the stadium.

The Alabama game carries major stakes for LSU’s postseason hopes. A win would strengthen the Tigers’ case for a place in the College Football Playoff, and Kiffin has assembled a prominent group of figures for the occasion. Costner could also be invited to attend future games if LSU earns a spot in the playoff.
