LSU landed the biggest fish in the pond of Louisiana by getting the commitment of five-star defensive tackle Maason Smith from Terrebonne High School on Wednesday afternoon.
Smith is the highest rated player in the state and second rated defensive tackle in the country and his commitment is huge for a Tiger program looking to keep its football among the premiere college programs in the nation.
National Signing Day has proven to be just like the rest of 2020, unpredictable.
