Though neither LSU nor coach Les Miles had officially commented on the matter as of press time, it appears former LSU women’s soccer goalie and homecoming queen Mo Isom has not made the LSU football team as a walk-on placekicker. “I am heartbroken, but my head is held high,” Isom tweeted around 1:30 this afternoon. “Knowing I gave everything I had is the greatest victory. Unending thanks to my LSU football fam.” Isom had garnered national attention while attempting to become the first female LSU football player. She first failed to make the team as a walk-on this spring. She attended walk-on tryouts on Tuesday and Wednesday, and though it was widely reported that Miles would announce on Thursday the names of those who had made the team, there has been no such official announcement yet. “Best special teams unit in the nation & even better men. Can’t wait to cheer them on,” Isom also tweeted this afternoon.
