Billy Napier trolled for LSU loss during HS recruiting visit

Billy Napier and Florida lost to LSU 52-35 back on Nov. 11, but nearly a month later, he still can’t live it down.

Napier was reportedly in Sarasota, Fla. on Tuesday to check in on one of his committed recruits out of the 2024 class, cornerback Teddy Foster, at Cardinal Mooney High School. Apparently, at least one student he encountered there is a fan of the Tigers.

Here’s video of the interaction:

Credit to Napier for taking things in stride and laughing it off. That said, it hasn’t been a great 2 seasons for him at the helm in Gainesville! He led Florida to a 6-6 record in 2022 before they lost in the Las Vegas Bowl. In 2023, they finished 5-7, missing a bowl altogether. That’s coupled with identical 3-5 SEC records in SEC play in that span.

Needless to say, Gators fans haven’t had much to laugh about over the past couple of years. And if Napier can’t get things together in 2024, he’ll have more than being trolled by an LSU fan to worry about.
