Future LSU Tiger and former Alexandria Senior High star running back J.T. Lindsey is this year’s Warrick Dunn Award winner. The LHSAA Network gives out the prestigious award to the best high school football player in the state. Lindsey gives credit to his mother for pushing him to be the best player he can be.
“She’ll pop up at a random practice and make sure I’m on task, make sure I’m not messing up, goofing around in the back, actually really be on me,” Lindsey said.
Lindsey led the ASH Trojans to an undefeated regular season and a trip to the state championship game. He says he’ll never forget his senior season.
“Amazing. It was a little kid’s dream, doing everything that you wish you could do, especially with a family and a community that we did. It was amazing,” Lindsey said.
Lindsey rushed for just under 2,500 yards and 33 touchdowns. He rushed for 252 yards and two touchdowns in a memorable semifinal victory over John Curtis. ASH head coach Thomas Bachman says Lindsey was a pleasure to coach.
“And this is just the beginning. What he’s fixing the enter into, it’s head-down, back to work to go chase the next dream that you have,” Bachman said.
