Scott surprised LSU students by attending the event. He greeted students and signed autographs. Members of the women’s basketball team such as Angel Reese, assisted bookstore staff by helping students with their purchases.
Over 1,500 LSU students attended the launch, according to the university. The event featured a DJ, as well as refreshments provided by LSU dining, while students waited in line.
