LSU football receiver Chris Hilton will play vs Texas A&M
COLLEGE STATION, Tx. – LSU football junior wide receiver Chris Hilton Jr. will play versus Texas A&M Saturday night.
It'll be the first action this season for the speedy wide receiver as he's missed the first seven games of the season dealing with a stress fracture. LSU announced Hilton's return to action before the game.
Getting Hilton back is a boost for an LSU offense that's already been playing well but has missed the junior's ability to take the lid off defenses with his speed.
Last season, Hilton caught 13 balls for 225 yards with two touchdowns. His best game came in the Tigers' ReliaQuest Bowl over Wisconsin, where he had three receptions for 56 yards with a TD.
