The LSU Board of Supervisors approved a new deal for Yeskie on Friday, which, according to documents obtained by The Advocate, will pay the newly crowned national champion $470,000 in the first year, $485,000 in Year 2, and $500,000 in the final year of a deal that will expire in August of 2028.
Yeskie had signed a three-year deal in 2023 that was worth $400,000 per year. That contract was set to end next June.
Yeskie’s raise and extension come on the heels of coach Jay Johnson and assistant coaches Josh Jordan and Josh Simpson receiving new contracts in September.
Johnson’s raise made him the highest-paid college baseball coach in the country and will last until the end of the 2032 season. He will earn over $3 million annually in the deal.
Jordan’s new contract pays him the same amount as Yeskie over the next three years in a deal that also ends in 2028. Simpson’s new contract pays him an additional $50,000 over each of the next three years, ending after the 2027 season.
