Veteran safety Rodney Gillis back for his sixth season

[NewsCopy]

As UL’s 2012 football season neared its conclusion, then fifth-year senior safety Rodney Gillis wasn’t sure what his short-term future held.

For a short while, it turned out to be the sofa in his parents’ living room.

But Gillis, whose 75 total tackles last year were second among team leaders behind only linebacker Justin Anderson’s 105, is no couch potato.

Your doing the right thing, Rodney. Once you have walked away you can never go back, there are no do overs. I wish I would not have listened to some players when I was younger. I wish I would have played Football throughout High School, but I didn't due to things others were saying. Listening to your dad and brother and your heart is no doubt the right thing to do! Best of times is ahead of you, good luck, man!

I look forward to seeing you play again this year, hopefully 100% healthy the whole season
