A three-star tight end announced his commitment date and set his top three this week, with LSU making the cut.
Per On3, [autotag]Mike Tyler[/autotag] out of South Carolina will decide between LSU, Duke and West Virginia and the choice will be announced on Aug. 17.
At 6-foot-4, 220 pounds, Tyler fits the mold of tight end LSU’s signed in recent years. The Tigers have put a premium on athletic tight ends who can make an impact in the passing game, such as [autotag]Trey’Dez Green[/autotag] and [autotag]Kamorreun Pimpton[/autotag].
“I am working to make my final decision. The relationships with the position coach, the offense and who I feel can develop me best for the NFL are things I am still thinking about,” Tyler told On3.
According to On3’s prediction machine, LSU is the heavy favorite with a 95.3% chance of landing Tyler.
Tyler would be the second tight end to join LSU’s 2025 class, adding to four-star [autotag]JD LaFleur[/autotag] who committed over a year ago.
The class is already in the top three in the nation, but LSU is just below some other teams from a volume standpoint. Adding Tyler would help beef up the class and give LSU its 22nd commit.
