Four-star linebacker [autotag]Jaiden Ausberry[/autotag] of Baton Rouge is set to announce his college decision on Thursday, and the budding Cold War between Notre Dame and LSU may add another chapter.
Ausberry, the 105th player overall on the 247Sports composite for 2023 is down to seven finalists from which he’ll choose at 7:30 p.m. ET on Thursday. Notre Dame and LSU are on his list of finalists as are Alabama, Auburn, Michigan, Florida and Texas A&M.
Ausberry’s father is a former LSU player while his brother was a member of Auburn’s 2022 recruiting class.
Ausberry checks in at 6 feet, 1 inch and 210 pounds. He is coming off a summer during which he visited Auburn, Notre Dame, Michigan and Texas A&M this June.
For whatever it’s worth, the On3 recruiting prediction machine has Notre Dame as the runaway favorite to land his commitment, giving the Irish a 94.6% chance.
