LSU Football: Top National Signing Day Targets

1. Marvin Wilson, 5-star DT (Bellaire, TX)

Marvin Wilson is a five-star prospect that could boost the LSU Tigers’ position in the recruiting ranks. Wilson is a 6-foot-4, 329 pound defensive tackle who had a stellar career at Episcopal High School. He racked up 200 total tackles, 71 tackles for loss and 42 sacks . He ranks sixth overall in the nation, first at his position and in the state of Texas, according to 247 Sports.

With two commits already in their recruiting class at defensive tackle, LSU still needs some depth at the position as they transition to a 3-4 defense. The Texas native would give the Tigers a huge presence to clog up SEC defenses for years to come.

Unfortunately, there’s no conference recruiting battle, but there is one brewing nonetheless. Wilson has FSU and the Tigers as his leaders, making National Signing Day an important moment for both programs.

Wilson took an official visit to Baton Rouge on January 13 but Ohio State and Oklahoma and South Florida have all made contact with him as well. HeWilson took an official visit to South Florida on January 20. The Sooners visited his home with a number of players and staff donning a number 99 jersey on January 23. The Ohio State Buckeyes coaching staff has visited him on two seperate occasions on January 18 and January 25.

Wilson will make his final decision on National Signing Day.
