Its commitment day for two of LSU Football's top recruiting targets
The LSU Football team enters the day with the Nation’s third ranked recruiting class behind only Alabama and Ohio State. The Tigers recruiting class holds 22 commitments, 11 on each side of the football and it most years the Tigers would be nearly done. Now with 20 extra scholarships being added next season teams like LSU could sign nearly 40 players in this class.
The Tigers enter the day with a chance to add two additional commitments, one on each side of the football.
It starts on the offensive side of the football with tight end Mike Tyler. On3’s Industry recruiting rankings ranks Tyler as the 38th ranked tight end in the class and the 714th best player in the class. The tight end is down to three school but, LSU is the favorite to land Tyler which would add another elite talent to this offensive class.
Later in the day, the Tigers will hope to land safety Bryce Fitzgerald. On3 ranks Fitzgerald as the eighth ranked safety in the class and the 101st ranked player overall. The Tigers jumped into this race late and it seems like they may lose out but, the team will remain in this one until signing day.
The team is better off missing with Fitzgerald as they already have Jhase Thomas and CJ Jimcoily on board. The LSU Football team remains one of the finalists for five star Jonah Williams at safety who also commits this month.
End of August remains the biggest time for LSU
The Tigers will still wait until the end of the month to see if they landed two of their biggest targets. Jaime Ffrench and Jonah Williams will commit in the week prior and to the start of the season and landing either would give LSU the Nation’s top recruiting class.
