LSU Long Snapper and Flores MBA Student Blake Ferguson is a Leader On and Off the Football Field
While growing up in Alpharetta, Georgia, Blake Ferguson’s parents instilled in him that he could do anything he put his mind to, and he truly took that to heart. In 2018, Ferguson not only became the first long snapper in LSU Football history to be named a permanent team captain, but he also won the David Binn Award, which recognizes the nation’s best long snapper. A four-time member of the SEC Academic Honor Roll and Chair of the SEC's Football Leadership Council,
he made the choice to enroll in LSU’s Flores MBA Program to develop himself as a leader off the football field. Ferguson has almost checked off every academic and athletic goal he had for himself when he got to this university, and still has the chance to achieve his last one – to win a College Football Playoff National Championship.
