LSU is looking to add more pieces to its already promising 2025 recruiting class, and as the June official visit rush comes to a close, some to prospects in the cycle are ready to make their decisions.
One of those is four-star, top 100 EDGE [autotag]Damien Shanklin[/autotag]. He moved his commitment date up to July 5 and is now set to decide between a top three of LSU, Alabama and Ohio State next week.
The Warren Central (Indianapolis) prospect ranks as the No. 86 overall player in the class and the No. 12 EDGE according to the On3 industry rankings. LSU received a crystal ball projection to land him from 247Sports’ Tom Loy earlier this month, and the Tigers have a comfortable lead according to the On3 recruiting prediction machine.

LSU seems to be in the driver’s seat here, and after getting the first of his four official visits, it doesn’t look like much has changed in recent weeks despite trips to Ohio State, Tennessee and Alabama.
