‘225’: Corey Webster returns to B.R. to make an impact on student-athletes

The glare from his huge Super Bowl ring threatens to blind onlookers as LSU alum and New York Giants cornerback Corey Webster projects it on the large screen inside LSU’s Bo Campbell Auditorium. But the bling of his ring isn’t all that catches their attention on a warm June evening. A hush falls over the freshman and sophomore LSU athletes there to listen to Webster speak about “protecting their brand.” Webster’s credibility with the crowd is born from the fact that he has been where they are now, and he’s now exactly where they want to be.
