LSU football head coach Ed Orgeron could probably write a book on how to be an elite recruiter.
Orgeron, dating back to his days as an assistant as USC, has always been a tremendous recruiter. He has a unique ability to connect with football players on a deep level.
And those connections usually lead to commitments.
Orgeron has received numerous accolades for his outstanding recruiting efforts. In 2004, while serving as USC’s defensive line coach, Coach O was named the recruiter of the year by Rivals. In 2011, also while at USC, Orgeron was named the recruiter of the year by Fox Sports and ESPNU.
