LSU officially added 5-star defensive lineman Dominick McKinley to its signing class on Wednesday.

McKinley committed to LSU on New Year’s Eve (well after the Early Signing Period concluded), so Wednesday is the first day he was able to officially sign with the Tigers.

He officially signed his national letter of intent at a ceremony at his high school on Wednesday. Here’s video of the moment he officially joined LSU:

McKinley is a massive addition for the Tigers in the class of 2024. He’s the No. 14 overall player and the No. 4 defensive lineman in the country for this cycle, per 247Sports Composite rankings. He’s also the No. player from the state of Louisiana in this class.

McKinley was previously committed to Texas A&M. He chose not to sign with the Aggies during the Early Signing Period following the dismissal of former coach Jimbo Fisher. He also had offers from programs such as Ohio State, Oklahoma and Ole Miss, amongst others.

McKinley attends Acadiana High School in Lafayette, Louisiana. He’s listed at 6-foot-5, 280 pounds.

With McKinley now in the fold, LSU has 29 prospects in its 2024 high school recruiting class. The group sits at No. 7 in the national rankings, per 247Sports Composite rankings.

Here are some highlights from McKinley’s senior season:
