LSU’s run on quality 2016 recruits continued Wednesday when the school received a commitment from four-star defensive tackle Glen Logan.

Logan held offers from eight SEC schools in addition to programs like Ohio State, Oregon, Clemson, Oklahoma and Texas, so his commitment is a gold star for defensive line coach Ed Orgeron and coordinator Kevin Steele.

Based on his highlight video, the 6-foot-4, 270-pound senior-to-be is a slippery presence on the interior, often getting into the backfield unblocked to sack a quarterback or bring down a ball-carrier in Destrehan, La. According to Scout.com, LSU views him as a versatile player who could slide to end if the team mixes in some 3-4 alignments.

Logan represents LSU’s 11th verbal commitment. The Tigers’ 2016 class ranks fifth nationally according to 247Sports, just behind Georgia for the top spot in the SEC. That’s thanks to an incredible standard of quality even by SEC standards.

LSU holds pledges from two five-star players, including fellow in-state defensive tackle Edwin Alexander, and eight four-star players. (By comparison, 12 of last year’s 25 commitments rated as two- or three-star players as opposed to just one of 11 so far this year.)

The Tigers are pushing hard for five-star defensive tackle Rashard Lawrence (Monroe, La.). With Logan’s commitment and the possibility of landing Lawrence, the program could lock up all three of Louisiana’s top defensive tackles in 2016. Alabama, Oklahoma and Ole Miss are among the teams vying to woo Lawrence.
