'That feels good, bro!' tight end Mac Markway exclaimed as he slipped it on. 'If I'm running in this, I ain't sweating … at all. It's like, cold.'

The helmets operate on a 'next-level' battery-powered system that has a five-hour lifespan before needing to be charged and lasts up to four years, according to sports business expert Joe Pompliano. 

The helmets will give the Tigers a huge advantage when travelling to play Mississippi State where temperatures could reach triple figures. 

In particular, quarterback Jayden Daniels could be helped to be kept cool and controlled under center. 

However, other SEC schools could look to invest in similar technology to keep up with LSU's revolutionary techniques.  

The Tigers, who are entering their second year with head coach Brian Kelly, are coming off a 10-4 season (6-2 in SEC play), which was topped off by a 63-7 thrashing of Purdue in the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl and winning the SEC West.
