LSU Football: Analyst predicts which elite 2022 in-state RB Tigers will land
By Zach Ragan
LSU football is pursuing several talented in-state 2022 running backs.
One of those running backs, unfortunately, has already committed elsewhere.
Four-star running back Le’Veon Moss, 6-foot/190 lbs from Baton Rouge, committed to Alabama in early June. Moss is ranked in 247Sports’ composite rankings as the No. 5 running back in the country and the No. 5 player in Louisiana.
While the Tigers will likely continue to pursue Moss (there’s a long way to go until players sign), they have a couple of other talented in-state running backs on their radar.
And one recruiting analyst predicted this week which one he believes LSU will land.
Could LSU football add a talented running back in the near future?
Four-star running back TreVonte’ Citizen and four-star running back Trevor Etienne (the younger brother of former Clemson Tigers running back Travis Etienne) are two of the top running backs on LSU’s recruiting board.
Citizen, 6-foot/217 lbs from Lake Charles, LA, is ranked in 247Sports’ composite rankings as the No. 11 running back in the country and the No. 9 player in Louisiana.
Etienne, 5-foot-10/200 lbs from Jennings, LA, is ranked in 247Sports’ composite rankings as the No. 13 running back in the country and the No. 12 player in Louisiana.
On Thursday, Sonny Shipp, who covers LSU recruiting for 247Sports, predicted that Citizen will be part of the Tigers’ 2022 recruiting class.
“In a perfect world, you would love to take two here with how deep Louisiana is at the position,” wrote Shipp.
“However, with four scholarship players, five if you include Josh Williams, this is an area I would call it quits at after landing Citizen to address more pressing needs at other spots,” added Shipp.
dark. Next. The curious case of Myles Brennan
It’s inevitable that a couple of elite in-state running backs will end up playing college football away from LSU. And that’s going to be a tough thing to watch for the next few years.
But that’s how it goes when a state has as much talent as Louisiana. LSU can’t sign them all.
