LSU is one of several teams hoping to land the top edge-rushing prospect in the 2024 recruiting class in [autotag]Colin Simmons[/autotag].
Competition is steep for the five-star, who also seems to be primarily considering Texas and Texas A&M, but LSU will host him for another unofficial visit this weekend, according to On3’s Chad Simmons.
Simmons took an official visit to Austin with the Longhorns last month, and he’s reportedly finalizing plans to visit College Station the day after his July 28 trip to Baton Rouge.
He recently said that he would be announcing a commitment date soon, and though he has tentative plans to take an official visit with the Tigers in November, it’s possible he could make a decision sooner than that.
Texas is currently the sizable favorite for Simmons according to On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine, while 247Sports has split Crystal Balls between the Longhorns and Tigers. However, the most recent prediction was in Texas’ favor.
LSU currently has 18 players committed in a recruiting class that ranks No. 14 nationally. The Tigers will hope to land one of the top targets on their board in Simmons despite his primary recruiter heading to the NFL ranks in [autotag]Jamar Cain[/autotag].
