HONORING OUR ATHLETIC HERITAGE
Southern University’s proud athletic tradition began in New Orleans, Louisiana, where baseball served as the University’s earliest intercollegiate sport. Following the University’s relocation to Baton Rouge, President Dr. Joseph S. Clark expanded the athletic program, recognizing the important role of sports in developing strong, well-rounded students.
In 1916, Southern fielded its first baseball team and its inaugural football team—the 1916 Southern Jaguars—marking the beginning of a rich and enduring athletic legacy.
