Top 10 Recruiting Classes heading into National Signing Day
7. LSU Tigers
The LSU Tigers are starting a new era under head coach Ed Orgeron, but their 8-4 finish in 2016 shows they’re still a decent football team. Offensively, their running backs were stellar (Leonard Fournette and Derrius Guice) but they still have a quarterback issue on their hands.
With this year’s recruiting class, the Tigers hope to change things. Early enrollee Lowell Narcisse is a dual-threat quarterback that looks to battle for the starting quarterback position this fall.
Narcisse is rated 266th nationally and the No. 9 rated dual-threat quarterback, according 247 Sports. Along with Narcisse, 5-star safety prospect JaCoby Stevens is also an early enrollee is this year’s recruiting class.
Stevens is rated the 18th player nationally and No. 1 overall safety, according to 247 Sports. Overall, the LSU Tigers have 20 total commitments; 11 on offense, seven on defense and two on special teams. They look to get deeper as a team with this year’s recruiting class, especially on offense. They also earned the commitment of wide receiver Stephen Guidry out of Raymond, Mississippi. Guidry is the No. 1 rated receiver overall, sixth nationally, according to 247 Sports.
