One day after LSU saw 14 of its players taken in the NFL draft, the Tigers added a big prospect in ESPN Junior 300 Landon Jackson, the No. 8-ranked defensive end.
The 6-foot-5, 230-pound lineman from Pleasant Grove High School in Texarkana, Texas, committed to LSU over offers from Texas, Texas A&M, Alabama, Oklahoma and others. He's the No. 73 recruit overall in the class and a pass rush specialist being added in to the LSU class.
It's a big splash for coach Ed Orgeron and his staff, taking Jackson out of Texas, where he was the 12th best recruit in the state, and fending off big-name programs to get him.
