LSU football wasn’t among 2022 four-star linebacker Shawn Murphy’s initial top eight schools.
But the Tigers are now in the mix for the elite inside linebacker.
Murphy, 6-foot-2/215 lbs from Manassas, VA (Unity Reed), recently added LSU to his top schools, which also includes Alabama, Clemson, Florida, Georgia, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Oregon, and Penn State.
The Virginia native told 247Sports that the Tigers are a factor for his commitment because of “increased contact”.
“They [have a] new (defensive) coaching staff, they are really nice people,” said Murphy.
