[autotag]Javien Toviano[/autotag] is a five-star, 6-foot, 185-pound safety from Arlington, Texas, where he plays for Martin High School. On Thursday, the Tigers got some big news as he announced his commitment to LSU.
Coach Brian Kelly’s team arrived on the scene late for Toviano but made a huge difference for him, and in the end, he chose LSU. It had received two Crystal Ball predictions and the Tigers were the 93% favorite to land him per On3.
Toviano becomes the seventh defensive back that has committed to LSU for the 2023 class, a class that ranked as the No. 8 class in the country coming into today. This commitment could catapult LSU into the top five. LSU is likely not done with commitments either as five-star cornerback [autotag]Desmond Ricks[/autotag] is set to commit on Dec. 22. LSU has been the favorite for Ricks for a while.
Talk about reloading your secondary, Kelly could sign eight defensive backs in this year’s recruiting class. The future looks bright on the Bayou.
