LSU football put together an impressive 2021 recruiting class that was ranked No. 4 overall in the nation (247Sports composite rankings).

The crown jewel of the Tigers’ 2021 class is Maason Smith, a five-star defensive tackle from Houma, LA (Terrebonne).

Smith, who was rated as a top 20 overall 2021 recruit, signed with LSU over offers from Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, and USC (among many others). He’s the highest-rated player in LSU’s 2021 class.

The Louisiana native enrolled early at LSU, which means he’s already on campus putting in work.
