The 2007 season was the third season for #40 (previously #80).  An Auburn graduate, LaKeisha is originally from Baton Rouge LA and has a very extensive athletic background.  Strong and fast, #80 began her time with the Power as an outside linebacker and punt return specialist.  When injury hit the Power running backs in the 2006 season, LaKeisha stepped in and began to make a name for herself as a powerful, big back.  Her size, 5-10 and 220 lbs, makes her a hard target for opposition defenses.  Simple hits and arm tackles just don't do much to slow her down.   One of the most caring and sweetest women you could ever

meet - off the field of play - when she steps on the field, nothing gets in the way of winning.

              LaKeisha is one of the most inspirational players on the Power.  Although she is no doubt one of the strongest, most athletic players on the roster, she is also the first to credit her teammates with her success on the field.  She knows the importance of teamwork and realizes that it takes an entire team to win ballgames.  A true team player, L.J. shines as a leader on the field with her game day intensity.  No one is more competitive or puts more pressure on self performance.
