Toosii Added to LSU Football Roster as Freshman Wide Receiver

Toosii has been added to the Louisiana State University’s 2026 football roster as a freshman wide receiver.

According to a Louisiana First article, published on March 26, Toosii, born Nau’Jour Grainger, was listed on the LSU Tigers football squad and will wear the number 89. In a video below, courtesy of WAFB 9 news, the 26-year-old footballer catches a throwing pass from quarterback Sam Leavitt.

Rapper Toosii, known for chart-topping hits like “Favorite Song” and “IDGAF,” initially played high school football in North Carolina.

Initially, Toosii was committed to play football at Syracuse Orange football in late 2025, but that plan ultimately did not materialize. In March of 2026, Toosii enrolled at LSU and was added to the Tigers’ roster, and reportedly was participating in early practices as a wide receiver with the squad.

If the North Carolina-based rapper gets a chance to make his mark on the field, Toosii could become one of the first multi-platinum artists to play Division I football on a collegiate level.

“If nobody told me, I’m PROUD of me, Geaux Tigers,” Toosii wrote on his Instagram page along with a tiger and prayer hands emoji.
