Despite the fact that the LSU Tigers aren’t sure who their head coach is going to be, they still find themselves in the running for a top-rated recruit.
On Sunday, the No. 1 player in the state of Texas named his top 11 schools with the Tigers right there in the mix. The usual suspects made the cut with Alabama, Clemson, Florida, Ohio State, Texas, and Texas A&M. Plenty of competition for the top defensive lineman in the class according to Rivals.
Hicks attended the Tigers camp back in June. It will be important for the new hire to try and bring him to the Bayou. For now, the Tigers are right in the mix for his pledge.
