One of the main reasons LSU football won the 2019 National Championship was because of their 2017 signing class.
The Tigers’ 2017 class, which was ranked No. 7 in the nation, included key players like Patrick Queen, Grant Delpit, Jacoby Stevens, K’Lavon Chaisson, Tyler Shelvin, Jacob Phillips and Clyde Edwards-Helaire.
That’s a loaded class.
There was also another key player for the Tigers in 2019 that happened to be the lowest rated player in LSU’s loaded 2017 signing class — wide receiver Justin Jefferson, the younger brother of former Tigers quarterback Jordan Jefferson and former safety Rickey Jefferson.
