BATON ROUGE, La. — LSU has added Eric Held to its support staff as the new Director of High School Relations, Held confirmed to LouisianaSports.net.

Held has served as the director of the Louisiana High School Coaches Association since 2019. Prior to that, he spent 25 years as a teacher and coach in the state.

He is a New Orleans (La.) Brother Martin graduate and played football at Nicholls where he was a special teams captain.
