Karl Malone made a name for himself at Louisiana Tech and in the NBA as a member of the Utah Jazz (18 seasons) and Los Angeles Lakers (one season). His son hopes to continue honoring the family name at LSU, but in a different sport. K.J. Malone was one of the Tigers' 27 football signees last week.

The No. 2 scorer in NBA history known as "The Mailman," Karl Malone said he cried "like a baby" when his son made it official with a letter, according to this story written by Steve Luhm of the Salt lake City Tribune.

K.J. is a 6-foot-4, 300-pound offensive lineman from Cedar Creek Academy in Ruston, La., where the family lives. According to the story, LSU coaches plan to move K.J. to center after playing guard in high school.
