Five-star freshman tight end Arik Gilbert joined Coach Ed Orgeron and the LSU Tigers one season after the team completed a historic run to the national championship. The program appeared to be in complete disarray, as the Tigers suffered the third-largest defeat of a reigning national champ ever just two Saturdays ago to Alabama and rumblings of potential transfers came flying in.
However, the Tigers pulled off the impossible over the weekend, knocking off then No. 6 Florida in The Swamp. Orgeron and company followed the big win up with a successful signing day, landing what looks to be a Top 5 class overall.
