Reports surfaced Monday morning that LSU has become a candidate in the recruitment of former California running back Tre Watson, who will be graduating later this spring and transferring.
Late Sunday night, Watson tweeted out that he would be visiting LSU the last weekend of April:
I want to thank BYU for recruiting me but unfortunately the timing of things will conflict with the rest of my recruitment. That being said I will no longer be able to visit BYU and my next trip will be LSU on April 27th.

Texas is expected to also receive an official visit this weekend.
