Mississippi linebacker Zach Edwards gave the Tigers his verbal pledge Saturday.

Edwards picked up an offer from the Tigers in February and decided to commit after visiting Baton Rouge Saturday.

"Why not?" Edwards, a 6-foot-2, 219-pound prospect, said Sautrday night. "I like the school."

The Starkville prospect called LSU "a very very great school."

"I liked the facilities, I liked everything and I like the coaches."

Edwards spoke particularly high of LSU's defensive coordinator Dave Aranda and particularly the way his defense utilizes linebackers.
