Lionel Stokes is a former collegiate safety who played for the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns from 2010 to 2011 (same with Lamar Morgan). After his playing career, he transitioned into coaching, starting as a graduate assistant at Louisiana. He later served as a defensive coordinator at Jackson State and coached defensive backs at Nicholls State.
