Savage committed to the Tigers and assistant coaches Jeff Grimes and Kevin Steele after LSU’s recent day camp his prep coach confirmed to AL.com.
“He is probably a five-year player in college. Before he plays in the SEC, he needs to put on a little weight. A lot of colleges want to see him at 315 or 320,” Nathan McDaniel told AL.com in a text message. “So I would guess he would redshirt that first year in order to get bigger, but he has everything it takes to be a great player.”
Savage’s upside has increased his stock in recent weeks, leading to several news offers including South Carolina and Kentucky.
