5-star LSU target receives new Crystal Ball projection

Things are looking good for the Tigers with one of the best prospects in Louisiana.

With his commitment day looming, [autotag]Zalance Heard[/autotag] has received a new Crystal Ball projection from 247Sports.

Robert Sellers, a Houston Insider, has projected Heard to commit to the LSU Tigers. Heard is a five-star, 6-foot-5, 300-pound offensive tackle from Monroe, Louisiana, where he plays for Neville High School.

Per On3, LSU is the heavy favorite to land Heard at 97%. The Tigers currently have 21 commits for the 2023 recruiting class, which currently ranks No. 7 in the country.

That would change if Heard commits to the Tigers.

Heard would be the second five-star commit of the class, joining wide receiver [autotag]Shelton Sampson Jr.[/autotag], and the third offensive lineman.

Heard is set to commit on Thursday. As soon as he makes his announcement, you can find the breaking news right here on LSU Wire.
