LSU Football: Ed Orgeron throws shade at recruiting rankings

LSU football finished the 2020 recruiting cycle with the No. 4 ranked class in the nation.

But Tigers head coach Ed Orgeron doesn’t really care about where LSU’s class ranks.

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Orgeron threw shade at recruiting rankings, bringing up that LSU signed a Heisman Trophy winner in 2018 with the No. 15 ranked class in the nation.

Ed Orgeron on recruiting rankings: “We were ranked 15th one year. And we signed the Heisman Trophy winner.”

Coach O is of course referring to quarterback Joe Burrow, who transferred to LSU in 2018.
