When LSU punter Zach Von Rosenberg retired from minor league baseball and walked on to the LSU football team in 2016, he didn’t really have a clear vision for himself. He just knew he wanted to play for the Tigers.

The 28-year-old was an LSU baseball commitment before the Pittsburgh Pirates selected him in the 2009 Major League Baseball draft but constant injuries — from his hamstring to his shoulder and even the nerves in his fingers — prevented him from taking the next step in his career.

“Every time I felt like I was getting momentum and getting better and starting to play well, something would happen,” Von Rosenberg said.
