Braylon Lazare returns for his senior season, hoping to build on his accomplishments in 2012-13 that made him a valued contributor off the bench for Louisiana. A tough and physical walk-on, he uses his 6-5, 210-pound frame to his advantage in the paint. His experience the last three years should help him to see time in a relatively young Cajuns lineup.
