LSU picked up its 16th commitment of the 2024 cycle on Monday night.
[autotag]Joel Rogers[/autotag], a safety from West Feliciana, put on the LSU hat, picking the Tigers over TCU, Texas, Tennessee and Alabama.
This was no surprise. Both the 247Sports Crystal Ball and the On3 Prediction Machine had LSU as the heavy favorite.
According to On3, Rogers is a consensus four-star. On3 has Rogers as the fourth-best Louisiana recruit of the cycle, making this a key in-state pickup for [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] as the staff continues to build a strong homegrown class.
Rogers is the third safety of LSU’s 2024 class, joining [autotag]Ju’Juan Johnson[/autotag] and [autotag]Dashawn McBryde[/autotag], both in-state players.
With two corners on board too, Rogers is the fifth defensive back.

LSU lacks depth at the safety position on the current roster, so the influx of talent set to arrive next year will be much needed.
The Tigers now have commitments from five of the top 10 2024 Louisiana recruits and remain in a good spot with several more.
