LSU football is one of the programs to beat for a four-star linebacker from Texas.

It’s fairly clear that Ed Orgeron and LSU football are making the state of Texas a priority in recruiting.

Three of the Tigers’ current 12 commits are from Texas, including four-star quarterback Garrett Nussmeier (born in Louisiana, but grew up in Texas).

And LSU is hoping to continue the trend of adding elite players from Texas.

One of the players from the Lonestar state the Tigers are after is 2021 four-star linebacker Kendrick Blackshire, 6-foot-2/250 lbs from Duncanvile, TX.
