Meet LSU target Ishmael Sopsher -- the nation's top defensive tackle

If you look at Ishmael Sopsher's scholarship offers, it's quite the impressive list.

And that's because the Amite defensive lineman is a consensus five-star prospect and the country's No. 1 defensive tackle. He has college offers from the biggest programs in the nation.

But even with those accolades, Sopsher puts his family above it all.

Sopsher explained that as a child he was picked on or bullied by other children, and that's one of the reasons he is extremely close with his brother, JUCO DL Rodney Sopsher, -- they only had each other, the younger Sopsher said.
