LSU football is one of several programs hoping to land a four-star recruit from Texas.

2021 four-star defensive end Shemar Turner is one of the top defensive recruits in the nation and LSU football is one of the programs that are near the top of his list.

Turner, 6-foot-4/282 lbs from DeSoto, TX (DeSoto), is rated in 247Sports’ composite rankings as the No. 19 player in the state of Texas and the No. 10 strongside defensive end in the nation.

Alabama, Georgia, Texas, and Texas A&M are the other programs strongly in the mix to land Turner.
