LSU got a pleasant surprise on the recruiting front Monday afternoon as three-star defensive tackle Dilan Battle out of Arlington, Texas announced his commitment to LSU.
Listed at 6’3” and 300 pounds, Battle is a three-star prospect but has some pretty good offers for “just” a three-star. Per his On3 profile, Battle has offers from Alabama, Oregon, Michigan, Texas, and Oklahoma among others. It looks like the programs most heavily linked to Battle were TCU and SMU which makes sense considering the distance between Arlington and the DFW area.
Battle has been on Bo Davis’s radar since Davis was coaching the defensive line at Texas.
