The LSU Football program has been hard at work on the recruiting trail as the Tigers look to make another splash on the recruiting trail. The Tigers sit on top of On3's recruiting class rankings after USC lost 5-star linebacker Xavier Griffin. Heading into the summer and official visit season, the LSU Football team is poised to continue stacking elite recruits as it looks to finish this recruiting class with the best class in the Country.
One area where LSU will look to build out this recruiting class is on the offensive line as the Tigers hold two commitments, both from In-state recruits in Tackle Brysten Martinez and Guard Jalan Chapman. LSU is predicted to land 5-star interior offensive lineman Darius Gray while the Tigers are also making a push for 5-star offensive tackle Immanuel Iheanacho.
One of the biggest targets for LSU has been offensive tackle Zaden Krempin out of Texas as the Tigers have made a massive push this spring to get Krempin on board.
LSU cracks the Top 4 for offensive tackle Zaden Krempin
On Friday, Zaden Krempin cut his list of schools in consideration down to just 4 including LSU while the Tigers will battle Michigan, Texas, and Texas A&M.

The 6’5 278 OT from Prosper, TX has locked in OVs to each of his finalists as well

Going into Texas and beating out the In-State Aggies and Longhorns is never an easy task especially if both schools are in on the player. In this recruitment, LSU may just make itself too much to holdoff as the Tigers push for Krempin has been impressive. Earlier this week, offensive line coach Brad Davis made the trip to Texas to check in on the 4-star offensive tackle.
Just had an incredible afternoon with @coachbraddavis. Looking forward to my OV in a couple weeks @LSUfootball. 🐅 @ProsperEaglesFB @CoachSteamroll @Coach_Hill2 @LSURivals @CoachJoeSloan @Geaux247 @dctf @will_campbell66 pic.twitter.com/Ea05FVzjG6

The fact that Brad Davis made his way to Texas only speaks to how hard LSU is pushing for Zaden Krempin as Offensive Coordinator Joe Sloan was in Texas less than 2 weeks ago dropping in to Krempin's school for a visit.
Just had an awesome visit with @CoachJoeSloan from @LSUfootball. Looking forward to my OV in a few weeks. @coachbraddavis @CarlSt_Cyr @LSURivals @Geaux247 @PGuy77 @CoachSteamroll @ProsperEaglesFB @Coach_Hill2 @Coach_Moore5 @dctf pic.twitter.com/VxCWKIaX64

The four star recruit is ranked as the 222nd ranked player in the Country, the 18th-ranked interior offensive lineman, and the 31st ranked player from Texas, according to On3's Industry Recruiting Rankings.
If the LSU Football team can win out in the recruitment of Zaden Krempin, it would be another massive win for the Tigers in this recruiting class. Adding Krempin and Darius Gray would give LSU another pair of Blue Chip prospects on the offensive line which will continue to shuffle young talent into the roster.
