LSU struck gold on Thursday, as Oklahoma linebacker commitment Jacob Phillips decided to flip his commitment from the Sooners to the Tigers.
The 6-3, 230-pound Army All-American was a primary focus for the LSU staff, led by general manager Austin Thomas, defensive coordinator Dave Aranda and head coach Ed Orgeron. Phillips took an unofficial to LSU this weekend with his parents, and cited that visit as the turning point in his recruitment.
"I went on the visit at first not really expecting much but after going on the visit, my family and I really liked it down there," Phillips told Rival.
