A couple of LSU commits got rankings bumps this week and now reside in the elite tier.
Defensive lineman [autotag]Dashawn Womack[/autotag] and offensive tackle [autotag]Zalance Heard[/autotag] both picked up their fifth star on 247Sports. Heard is now also a five-star in the 247Sports Composite and the On3 Consensus rankings.
Womack now has five stars from 247 and On3, but due to his lower rankings from Rivals and ESPN, he is yet to grab the fifth star on either of the composite or consensus rankings.
I wouldn’t rule out Womack eventually entering the consensus five-star group. While he’s always been a top-300 prospect, his rise into the elite didn’t come until this past summer and fall.
đ¨NEWđ¨ After industry updates, LSU OT commit Zalance Heard has ascended into 5âď¸ status in the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companiesđ

Top247 OT and #LSU pledge Zalance Heard is a nasty dude! Nice little two-piece here. Tigers sitting pretty in the offensive line room for the next couple of years. pic.twitter.com/18u9G4teMV

ESPN and Rivals might still be catching up, and slight bumps in their rankings could be enough to boost Womack. LSU now has three recruits that have a five-star from one place or another.
[autotag]Shelton Sampson Jr.[/autotag] has five stars on On3 but just four stars from the other services. As a whole, LSU’s class ranks fifth according to On3 and seventh per 247.
