LSU receives commitment from elite safety Jordan Toles

LSU continues to recruit at an elite rate with the latest pledge coming from the No. 2 ranked safety in the country Jordan Toles, while on his official visit.

Toles chose LSU over offers from Alabama, Michigan and Penn State, among many others,

Toles has been a focal point for safeties coach Bill Busch, who received an assist from defensive coordinator Dave Aranda. The two coaches spent a good amount of time discussing his possible role in the LSU defense, similar to that of current safeties JaCoby Stevens and Grant Delpit, utilizing his ability to make plays around the line of scrimmage and in blitz packages.

LSU came into the weekend with the No. 3 ranked class in the Rivals Team Rankings, trailing only Alabama and Clemson.

The Tigers had one safety committed in Texas' Lorando Johnson, with Toles becoming the second. LSU currently sits at 17 commits for the 2020 recruiting class.
