The LSU Tigers football family is in mourning today after the tragic passing of 2025 star recruit, Olivia “Liv” Carter. The 19-year-old standout, known for her electrifying performances and incredible potential, was killed in a car accident early this morning. The heartbreaking news has left fans, teammates, and coaches in shock, as the rising star’s promising future was tragically cut short.
Carter, a highly ranked defensive back, had committed to LSU after an outstanding high school career. Known for her speed, versatility, and unmatched skill on the field, she was widely considered one of the top prospects in the nation. Her combination of athleticism and leadership had earned her a spot with the Tigers, where she was poised to make an immediate impact in the upcoming season.
According to law enforcement, Carter was involved in a single-vehicle crash on a highway just outside Baton Rouge, Louisiana. While the exact cause of the crash remains under investigation, authorities confirmed that she died at the scene. Emergency services responded quickly, but despite their efforts, Carter could not be revived. Family, friends, and the LSU community have been left devastated by the loss.
The grief surrounding her passing has been overwhelming. LSU head coach Brian Kelly expressed his sorrow in a statement, calling Carter a “bright light” whose potential on the field was matched only by the kindness and dedication she showed off the field.
“Olivia was a force to be reckoned with,” Kelly said. “Her drive, her work ethic, and her spirit were unmatched. She was a rising star, and we were all excited to see the great things she was going to accomplish here at LSU. This is an immeasurable loss to our team, our program, and our community. Our hearts are with Olivia’s family, her friends, and her teammates during this incredibly difficult time.”
Carter had arrived at LSU with a great deal of fanfare, having turned heads during her high school career with her standout playmaking ability. As a safety, she had been known for her explosive speed and sharp instincts, making her one of the most dangerous defensive players in the country. Carter’s ability to read plays, coupled with her lightning-fast reaction time, made her a natural fit for LSU’s defensive backfield. She was also praised for her leadership, often going above and beyond to mentor younger teammates and bring positivity to the team’s locker room.
Her loss has sent shockwaves through the LSU Tigers’ football program, where players are grieving the sudden loss of a teammate and friend. Junior linebacker and team captain, Eric Thompson, took to social media to express his devastation. “Liv, you were more than a teammate to me—you were a sister. You had so much left to give, and we were just getting started. I can’t believe you’re gone. I’ll carry your memory with me always.”
Friends and teammates remember Carter not only for her athleticism but also for her infectious personality. Off the field, she was known for her kindness, humor, and the deep sense of compassion she showed to everyone she encountered. Her ability to uplift others made her beloved by teammates and coaches alike.
“Liv had this energy that was impossible to ignore,” said her high school coach, Tim Roberts. “She could light up a room with her smile, and her work ethic was second to none. What made her so special wasn’t just her talent on the field—it was the way she made everyone around her better. She was going to be a star, and we’re all heartbroken that we won’t get to see her shine.”
In honor of Olivia Carter, the LSU Tigers football team will observe a moment of silence at their next home game. Fans have already begun to gather outside Tiger Stadium, leaving flowers and messages of remembrance for the young athlete who never had the chance to fulfill her full potential.
Carter’s family, who have requested privacy during this time, released a statement expressing their gratitude for the outpouring of support from the LSU community. “Olivia was our light, and we are devastated by this loss. We are comforted by the love and kindness that so many people have shown her during her life and in these difficult days. She was a blessing to us all, and we will carry her memory in our hearts forever.”
While the LSU Tigers mourn the loss of their rising star, her legacy will live on. Olivia “Liv” Carter may be gone, but the impact she had on her teammates, her coaches, and the entire LSU community will never be forgotten. Her spirit, drive, and passion for the game will continue to inspire those who knew her.
