The 6-foot-3, 290-pound defensive lineman chose the Longhorns over LSU and TCU. He is 21st-best player in Louisiana and the 32nd-best defensive tackle in the country, according to 247Sports’ composite rankings.
LSU already has three defensive tackles – Rashard Lawrence, Edwin Alexander and Glen Logan – committed to a program with all of its defensive line starters returning. Along with the three defensive tackles, the Tigers have three commits listed as defensive ends – Rahssan Thornton, Andre Anthony and Caleb Roddy.
