We’re approaching decision time for the top remaining uncommitted prospect on LSU’s board.
Five-star Duncanville, Texas, edge rusher [autotag]Colin Simmons[/autotag] ranks in the top 10 nationally for the 2024 class, and he’s set a commitment date for Aug. 10, just more than a week away.
The Tigers have put on the full-court press for Simmons recently. They hosted him for Bayou Splash last weekend, and they’ll hope that moved the needle a bit.
LSU remains a contender for Simmons, but in-state Texas still looks like it may be the team to beat. The Longhorns hold a slim lead on On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine, and Simmons has Crystal Ball projections to both LSU and Texas, though those were submitted earlier this summer before Simmons’ most recent visit.

The Tigers have been the trending team here down the stretch, and they’ll hope that their efforts have been enough to land one of the top players in the 2024 cycle.
