We’re not in *Missouri* anymore.
Kansas City Chiefs All-Pro safety Tyrann Mathieu took to Twitter to voice his opinion about national signing day.
Brian Kelly signed the No. 6 class in the country for his first season as the head coach of the Tigers according to overall class rankings that include transfers.
The class was headlined by five-star linebacker Harold Perkins and quarterback Walker Howard. Although the Tigers signed a great class, they missed out on a few players in their own backyard.
When I come they won’t get another athlete from the great state of Louisiana. https://t.co/elhMRCdRcZ

Alabama signed the top three wide receivers in the state of Louisiana with Aaron Anderson, Shazz Preston, and Kendrick Law. The top three running backs left the state as well. Le’Veon Moss went to Texas A&M, TreVonte’ Citizen opted for Miami and Trevor Etienne chose Florida. The top safety in the state Jacoby Mathews decided to join Moss with the Aggies.
Louisiana is a state that is rich with football talent and produces many top athletes every year. In Mathieu’s opinion, when he presumably comes back to coach at LSU, he will make sure that every player from “the great state of Louisiana” puts on for the boot. Brian Kelly is already a talented recruiter, but having Tyrann Mathieu as a part of his coaching staff would only boost his ability to recruit players from Louisiana.

The Honey Badger played at LSU for two seasons while totaling 133 tackles, four interceptions, and eight fumble recoveries. Mathieu may reside in Kansas City, Missouri, for now, but he wants to return to LSU to let top recruits know that “there’s no place like home.”
