Some good news to report on the recruiting front. Five-star wide receiver Jalen Hale from Longview, Texas, has released his top 12 schools. Hale has the LSU Tigers along with Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Ole Miss, and Texas A&M of the SEC among his top schools. Future SEC team Texas was also mentioned to be in contention.
Prior to Lincoln Riley’s departure to USC, Hale was believed to be a lock to head to Oklahoma. The Sooners have been replaced by the Trojans on his list. What could be the turning point for Hale to the Bayou likely depends on who Brian Kelly names as the offensive coordinator.
Hale would be a major get for the Tigers if they are able to secure his commitment. Likely putting him as one of the next LSU WRs to become a household name. To do so, they might have a fight on their hands.
