The LSU Tigers received some more positive recruiting news on Sunday afternoon. Malachi Nelson, a 2023 five-star quarterback, named the Tigers among the top seven schools for his recruitment. The Tigers were among one of the first schools to offer the talented gunslinger from Los Alamitos, California.
During the 2021 recruiting cycle, the Tigers were able to sign a talented quarterback from Texas in Garrett Nussmeier. In the following class, LSU added a commitment from the No. 2 pro-style quarterback in the country, Walker Howard. Could the Bayou Bengals go three for three with another five-star talent? That remains to be seen, but the answer will come fairly quickly as Nelson has set his commitment date for a week from Sunday.
In a shortened 2020 season, Nelson threw for 1,513 yards with 23 touchdowns and four interceptions. Currently feels as though the Oklahoma Sooners are the lead dog in the hunt for his commitment according to all the recruiting analysts that have made a prediction. Lincoln Riley takes a quarterback every other cycle and he doesn’t have one for 2022.
