The LSU Tigers added their 22nd commitment for the 2021 recruiting class early Friday morning when three-star offensive lineman Kimo Makaneole chose the Tigers.
Makaneole was the second offensive lineman to join LSU’s 2021 class, following offensive tackle Garrett Dellinger, who signed in December’s early signing period.
More good news could be coming LSU’s way on Saturday when five-star offensive tackle Tristan Leigh makes his college decision.
The 6-foot-5, 270-pound Leigh plays his high school football at Robinson Secondary in Fairfax, Virginia. He will be choosing between LSU, Clemson, Florida and Oklahoma.

Throughout Leigh’s recruitment, a new favorite has emerged multiple times. Optimism centered around LSU early this fall after Leigh and his family made the trip to Baton Rouge.
While Leigh could not meet with the coaching staff, he met with other recruits, such as quarterback Garrett Nussmeier, and reportedly had a great time.
Leigh would be a massive addition to LSU’s 2021 class and has a chance to play early in his career, regardless of where he goes.
LSU currently has the No. 4 recruiting class in 2021, according to 247Sports.
