LSU added its 23rd commitment in the 2024 recruiting class last week when Jelani Watkins, a four-star receiver from Houston, pledged to the Tigers.
With that commitment, LSU’s class has snuck into the top-10 nationally, according to On3’s team rankings. Now, the Tigers’ haul currently ranks 10th in the country according to both On3 and 247Sports.
While a top-10 class is nothing to scoff at, LSU would like to be a little bit higher. Despite having a fairly full class already, this team still has the chance to rise some more with two of its top targets in five-star edge rusher [autotag]Colin Simmons[/autotag] and four-star running back [autotag]Caden Durham[/autotag] both set to announce their commitments on Thursday.
The high school teammates from Duncanville, Texas, only have one commonality in their list of finalists — LSU — and they’ll be committing on the same day.
If LSU lands both players, it will likely have a class that’s pushing closer to the top five.
