LSU football is hoping to steal 2021 five-star defensive lineman Dylan Brooks away from Auburn and Alabama.
Brooks, 6-foot-5/220 lbs from Roanoke, AL (Handley), is rated in 247Sports’ composite rankings as the No. 2 player in the state of Alabama and the No. 1 weakside defensive end in the nation. He’s also rated as the No. 19 overall 2021 recruit.
Rivals recently “ranked the contenders” for Brooks and they have LSU leading the charge for the elite defensive lineman.
According to Rivals, the race for Brooks is “tight”. But they believe the Tigers are out in front thanks to LSU head coach Ed Orgeron, noting “Brooks is familiar with LSU, he is high on Orgeron as a coach and these out-of-state Tigers seem to be pressing all the right buttons right now”.
