Former LSU Tiger Jacob Hester paid a visit to his hometown this weekend.  It's nice to hear Hester and his wife were able to spend the Easter holiday with family, including his LSU family.

The former Evangel Eagle made appearances at Tiger Island inside Reeves Marine and was also a guest of honor at the Mudbugs game on Saturday night.  Our KTBS-3, including Fletch and myself, got to hang around and follow Jacob around at both these events, and what I've learned about Hester is what everyone has told me since I moved to Shreveport.... Class Act.

Almost 1-Thousand LSU fans came to Tiger Island to visit Jacob Saturday morning, and Jacob wasn't rude, talked to each and every fan, and made each every person feel like it was a moment of their own.   I didn't agree that it should cost fans $25, then again, I don't think Jacob did either.  You got to understand in the world of dealing with agents and events like this, moo-la is always involved.  Why I am saying this, you could tell Hester didn't have money on his mind during the autograph session, he had each fan on his mind.

I was convinced of this claim when I followed Hester around at the Mudbugs game later that night.  When we walked off the ice after the cerimonial puck drop, Jacob went out of his way to shake the hands of fans and sign autographs, free of charge!

We already know Jacob Hester "the football player" will live in LSU Football lure forever.  "The person" isn't that far off at becoming a legend either.
