[autotag]Jay Johnson[/autotag] picked up a commitment from a familiar face for the 2025 recruiting class. This commitment comes from a catcher who he initially signed as part of his first recruiting class at LSU.
That guy is [autotag]Blaise Priester[/autotag], who was ranked as the No. 1 catcher in Louisiana coming out of high school. He’s from Denham Springs, Louisiana, where he played for Live Oak High School. Priester never played for LSU and he wound up transferring to Meridian Community College.
As a freshman at Meridian last Spring, Priester played in 42 games for the Eagles and had a stellar year. He finished with a .357 batting average with 10 homers, 36 RBI and seven stolen bases. Priester announced on Friday that he would be heading back to LSU to pick up where he left off.
He still has dreams of playing for LSU in Alex Box Stadium and he will live that out in the spring of 2025.
I am excited to announce that I will be heading back to the box for 24-25 @LSUCoachJ @LSUbaseball pic.twitter.com/8N6YO9KpZw
