LSU Reacts to Exciting Malik Nabers News on Tuesday

During his three seasons (2021 to 2023) with the LSU Tigers, wide receiver Malik Nabers established himself as one of the best players at his position and in all of college football.

When looking at his numbers, that's not much of a surprise as he appeared in 38 games, racking up 189 receptions, 3,003 yards, and 21 touchdowns while earning All-America honors in his junior season.

That led him to being the No. 6 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft by the New York Giants, where he continues to dominate, and on Tuesday, it was revealed he earned the No. 67 spot on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2025 list.

Of course, to be recognized so early on by your peers is a special honor, and it quickly drew a reaction from LSU, which reposted the news via X, saying "Malik checks in at No. 67."

Nabers making the list doesn't come as much of a surprise either, because in just his rookie season, he led the Giants in targets (170), receptions (109), yards (1,204) and touchdowns (seven) in just 15 games.

Earning the No. 67 spot isn't the only honor that his efforts got him, as he was also named to the Pro Bowl and was in consideration to win AP Offensive Rookie of the Year, finishing fifth in voting.

Now, Nabers goes into the 2025 season looking to find more team success and help the Giants improve on their 3-14 record in 2024 and possibly make the playoffs for the first time since 2022.

Nabers also becomes the second player from LSU to make the list, joining linebacker Patrick Queen ( No. 75 ), with other big names such as quarterback Joe Burrow, quarterback Jayden Daniels and wide receiver Justin Jefferson likely to join them.
