LSU’s casting a wide net for its 2023 recruiting class and its landed them a pair of four-star defensive ends from the midwest.
First Jaxon Howard, the No. 1 player from Minnesota, picked LSU over the likes of Michigan, Miami, and the hometown Gophers. Howard is now LSU’s most highly touted prospect in its 2023 class, ranking as the No. 96 player overall and No. edge rusher.
Howard credits his prior relationship with new defensive line coach Jamar Cain, who was originally recruiting Howard to Oklahoma. Cain also coached Howard’s older brother at North Dakota State.
“One thing was the relationship with the coaches,” Howard said to 247.
