Demario Tolan found that out after getting the chance to meet LSU coach Ed Orgeron during an official recruiting visit to Baton Rouge, La., four weeks ago.
The Dr. Phillips linebacker was sold on LSU after that, and even with a last-ditch effort from Miami, the 6-foot-3, 210-pound rover picked the Tigers over the Hurricanes in what he said was a very difficult decision. Tolan took his official visit to Miami last weekend, but the trip was not enough to pull him away from LSU.
“It was between Miami and LSU and it was a real hard choice,” said Tolan, who also took an official visit to Tennessee and plans to still take his two remaining official visits, as allowed by the NCAA.
