From CBS Sports: LSU female goalkeeper Mo Isom to try out for football team
Mo Isom isn't content to just wrap up a stellar LSU soccer career and move on. Now, she wants to perform on the football field.
The goalkeeper, who has exhausted her soccer eligibility, is attempting to make the Tigers football team as a walk-on, according to multiple reports.
Isom, who is six feet tall, worked out with the football team in September, practicing kickoffs and field goals.
"(I'm) absolutely overwhelmed and humbled by all of the amazing support that has been pouring in surrounding tryouts," Isom said on her Facebook page. "There is so much power in prayer, so please know that I truly appreciate every single one of you! Today is the first of a 3-day tryout, so I would appreciate continued prayer through this week."
Isom would not be the first woman to reach the top collegiate level. In 2003, Katie Hnida became the first woman to kick for an NCAA Division I-A school, when she participated in one regular-season game and the Las Vegas Bowl for the University of New Mexico.
