Heading for their first major bowl game of head coach Ed Orgeron's tenure, the LSU Tigers could capture the program's first 10-win season since 2013 when Les Miles' squad won the Outback Bowl. While the SEC powerhouse fell short of making the College Football Playoff after an impressive season this year, the NCAA's Early Signing Period created plenty of reasons to look towards a bright future in Baton Rouge.
While Alabama's star-studded class and Georgia's five-star recruits won't be wearing purple and gold, the Tigers are still bringing home the fourth-ranked recruiting class for the 2019 college football season. Get ready, Louisiana. These Tigers have signed their National Letter of Intent, are prepared to ambush the SEC West, and can lead this program back to the top of the mountain.
