LSU‘s recruiting hot streak hit a daily double on Wednesday as the Tigers continue to rack up big-time commitments.
Four-star running back Trey Martin got things started with his announcement for the Bayou Bengals, followed by four-star edge rusher Chris Whitehead telling Rivals’ Hayes Fawcett he has also committed to the Tigers.
A top-50 prospect nationally, Whitehead was coveted from coast-to-coast with offers from Ohio State, Penn State, South Carolina and dozens of other programs. He was set to officially visit the Buckeyes this weekend, but instead put his name on the commitment list for Lane Kiffin and Co.
Whitehead visited Baton Rouge back in April, then returned Tuesday for another unofficial visit with his family.
“What stands out the most is what Lane Kiffin is building down there,” Whitehead’s father told Rivals’ Steve Wiltfong prior to the trip. “I think he’s building a powerhouse.”
