A former three-star defensive lineman in the 2022 recruiting class has now entered his name into the transfer portal.

[autotag]Tygee Hill[/autotag] is a 6-foot-3, 288-pound defensive lineman from New Orleans who committed to LSU out of Edna Karr High School in 2022. Hill appeared in nine games over two years for the Tigers and made three tackles.

The Tigers had nine defensive tackles on the roster this season and Hill was still talented enough to make an appearance in six games. He had his best game against Auburn where he made two tackles.

The Tigers have two defensive linemen commitments in the 2024 recruiting class, [autotag]Shone Washington[/autotag] and [autotag]De’Myrion Johnson[/autotag]. There are also a lot of players in the NCAA transfer portal that [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] could try to land to take the open roster spot.

FLIP ALERT: LSU lands former Texas A&M DL commit Gabriel Reliford

LSU’s 2024 recruiting class just got even better as the Tigers have added a four-star defensive lineman from Louisiana to the class.

LSU’s 2024 recruiting class just got even better as the Tigers have added a four-star defensive lineman from Louisiana to the class.

[autotag]Gabriel Reliford[/autotag] is a 6-foot-2, 255-pound defensive lineman from Evangel Christian Academy in Shreveport, Louisiana, Reliford was previously committed to Texas A&M but he decommitted from the Aggies on Dec. 3.

It did not take him long to make his decision after that as he chose LSU only five days later.

The Tigers now have 27 commitments for the 2024 class, a class that ranks as the No. 13 class in the country by 247Sports. Reliford is the third defensive lineman commit of the class as he joins [autotag]De’Myrion Johnson[/autotag] and [autotag]Shone Washington[/autotag].

[autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] is always looking to beef up the defensive line and improve the Tigers in any way possible. He has definitely done that with Reliford and there is still room for a few more commits to join.

Latest update on 5-star Dominick McKinley as he prepares to commit

One of the best recruits in the 2024 recruiting class is scheduled to announce his commitment this Friday.

One of the best recruits in the 2024 recruiting class is scheduled to announce his commitment this Friday. He is down to five schools: LSU, Texas, Oklahoma, Texas A&M and Ohio State.

[autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] has made it a mission to recruit the best players in the state of Louisiana and keep them in the boot. [autotag]Dominick McKinley[/autotag] definitely fits that bill. McKinley is a 6-foot-5, 280-pound, five-star defensive lineman from Lafayette, Louisiana, where he plays for Acadiana High School.

As of now, the Texas Longhorns are a 60% favorite to land him per On3, and the Longhorns have received a Crystal Ball projection to land him per 247Sports. LSU’s 2024 recruiting class currently ranks as the No. 9 overall class according to 247Sports. The class currently contains only one defensive lineman, three-star [autotag]De’Myrion Johnson[/autotag] from New Iberia, Louisiana.

LSU’s 2024 class does not have a five-star commitment yet. McKinley would be a great player to add to put another checkmark on Kelly’s list.

No. 1 Louisiana prospect in 2025 class sets another LSU visit

Jaboree Antoine will join a loaded visitors list for LSU’s Bayou Splash event.

LSU’s star-studded visitors’ list continues to grow for its Bayou Splash event later this month. Now, the Tigers know they will be hosting arguably the top prospect on their 2025 recruiting board.

Elite New Iberia (La.) Westgate cornerback [autotag]Jaboree Antoine[/autotag] will be on campus along with his teammate and 2024 LSU commit [autotag]De’Myrion Johnson[/autotag], according to On3. The five-star ranks as the No. 1 prospect in Louisiana and No. 4 cornerback in the 2025 class.

He’s also the No. 26 overall prospect nationally, according to the 247Sports Composite.

The Tigers are always going to have a leg up for Louisiana prospects, but it’s still early in Antoine’s recruitment. LSU is a slim 11.3% favorite to land him, per the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, but he also has offers from programs like Michigan and Texas A&M. He’s also visited Alabama.

LSU currently has two players committed in the 2025 class, which ranks 14th nationally.

Breaking down LSU’s latest commit in DL De’Myrion Johnson

The Tigers added commit No. 16 earlier this week.

LSU added its 16th commitment for the 2024 recruiting class earlier this week with New Iberia (La.) Westgate defensive lineman [autotag]De’Myrion Johnson[/autotag].

Johnson gives coach [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] another in-state commitment — his 10th total — for the 2024 class. He ranks as a three-star prospect according to most recruiting services, but ESPN has him as a four-star and the No. 205 player in the country.

On3’s industry rankings have him at No. 519, while 247Sports’ composite rankings have him at No. 447.

Johnson is 6-foot-2 and 275 pounds already. He’s a nice first pickup for LSU defensive line coach [autotag]Jimmy Lindsey[/autotag], who was hired away from South Carolina this offseason to replace the outgoing [autotag]Jamar Cain[/autotag].

LSU’s 2024 class now ranks fifth nationally according to 247Sports and 11th per On3.

LSU locks down official visit with top prospect in Mississippi

LSU will get the top player in Mississippi on a official visit later this year.

The newest LSU assistant is getting to work on the recruiting trail.

LSU defensive line coach [autotag]Jimmy Lindsey[/autotag] will get DL [autotag]Kamarion Franklin[/autotag] to take an official visit to LSU.

According to On3, Lindsey established a relationship while recruiting Franklin to South Carolina. Now that Lindsey’s at LSU, he’s continuing that recruitment. Franklin will visit LSU despite leaving the Tigers out of his original top 10.

Franklin’s recruitment will be a key one for LSU this cycle. It’s possible LSU loses defensive tackles [autotag]Maason Smith[/autotag] and [autotag]Mekhi Wingo[/autotag] to the draft next spring, so [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] and crew need to start thinking about the future of that interior defensive line.

The news of Franklin’s official visit is a positive development for LSU, but there’s still a long way to go here.

Lindsey already picked up one DT commit since arriving at LSU. He landed in-state DT [autotag]De’Myrion Johnson[/autotag] earlier this week. According to ESPN, Johnson is the sixth-best player in the state and a top 300 prospect overall.
