LSU picks up a prediction for four-star offensive lineman

The Tigers are the favorite to land another blue-chip offensive line prospect.

[autotag]D.J. Chester[/autotag] is a four-star, 6-foot-5, 300-pound offensive lineman from McDonough, Georgia, where he plays for Eagle’s Landing Christian Academy. The Chargers have started the 2022 season 1-2 following a 28-21 loss to Calvary Day last week.

On3’s Shea Dixon recently predicted that Chester would commit to LSU. Chester is also Crystal Balled to commit to LSU per 247Sports. If Chester were to commit, he would become the fourth offensive lineman commit of the 2023 class, joining [autotag]Zalance Heard[/autotag], [autotag]Tyree Adams[/autotag], and [autotag]Paul Mubenga[/autotag].

The Tigers 2023 class currently ranks as the No. 7 class in the country, but it is in the mix for several more blue-chip recruits and could end up in the top five.

2023 OL D.J. Chester set to visit the Plains

Elite 2023 offensive lineman D.J. Chester will be visiting the Plains this upcoming weekend.

On Sunday, it was reported that 2023 offensive tackle D.J. Chester would be making the trip to the Plains this weekend. This will be the first opportunity that Chester will get to see what Auburn is about since being offered earlier this year in February.

Chester is regarded as a four-star by 247Sports’ recruiting rankings. The Georgia native is ranked as the No. 64 recruit in the ’23 class and is ranked as the No. 3 player in the entire state of Georgia.

He is listed at 6-foot-5 and 295 pounds. With that size, Chester could very easily transition to play guard for the Tigers. However, he will likely add muscle weight to maintain a tackle spot on the Tigers roster.

Recently, Chester announced his top twelve schools — with one of those schools being Auburn. Other programs in the mix include Florida State, Miami, Ole Miss, Michigan, South Carolina, LSU, NC State, Michigan State, USC, Nebraska, and Florida A&M. Among the schools listed, we can confirm that he has visited both Auburn and Florida State.

The product of Eagles Landing Christian Academy competed in the discus as a junior. He even won Georgia Class 1A state championships in the shot put. The Tigers need someone that can push people off the line and open up holes. The coaching staff is certainly enamored with Chester and would love to have him join the 2023 recruiting class.
