LSU baseball coach [autotag]Jay Johnson[/autotag] is looking to repeat as national champion in 2024, and despite losing a number of key players like [autotag]Dylan Crews[/autotag] and [autotag]Paul Skenes[/autotag], Johnson is reloading the roster with a talented group.
The Tigers added a 20-man recruiting class this fall, including 13 high school signees, six Division I transfers and a junior college transfer. That group ranks fifth in the nation, according to Collegiate Baseball.
LSU’s class is headlined by [autotag]Cam Johnson[/autotag], who becomes the highest-ranked Tigers recruit to reach campus. The No. 11 overall prospect and No. 2 left-handed pitcher in his high school class, Johnson was a 20th-round pick but opted to enroll at LSU instead.

This is the 16th time in the last 17 years LSU has had its class rank in the top 10. The Tigers’ 2022 class ranked No. 1 according to Collegiate Baseball.
Arkansas, UCLA, Tennessee and Florida were the only schools that finished with a higher recruiting ranking.
