This is one recruit that LSU couldn’t afford to leave the state.

The Tigers’ biggest win of National Signing Day comes from in-state receiver Ja’Marr Chase. The four-star prospect had been receiving the full court press from both the Tigers and Auburn down the stretch but the pull to stay home was too much for the talented Chase.

Rated as the No. 4 overall prospect from Louisiana and the No. 15 receiver in the nation, LSU has now landed two of the best receivers in the nation for 2018 by landing Chase and Terrance Marshall. Chase becomes the 13th prospect committed to LSU that ranks as a four-star or better.
