On Tuesday, the Tigers learned that at least one of the drafted commits in their vaunted, No. 1-ranked 2022 recruiting class will make it to campus.
Five-star catcher [autotag]Brady Neal[/autotag], who was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 17th round earlier in the day, will reportedly not sign and will enroll at LSU instead, according to a report from The Advocate’s Leah Vann.
Neal played his high school ball at powerhouse IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida. He was one of two Tigers signees Milwaukee took a flyer on late in the draft as it also drafted [autotag]Jaden Noot[/autotag], who is still yet to make a decision regarding his future.
The 2022 MLB draft saw a total of eight LSU signees drafted, and a number of those were high picks who are expected to go pro. But getting Neal — the No. 74 overall prospect entering the draft — to come to campus is a nice win.
