For Kelly and Co. to get Simmons back on campus surrounded by several high-priority targets is another win for this program. The plan is for LSU to get the No. 1 player in Louisiana, Dominick McKinley. and several other prospects to Baton Rouge next weekend in what will be the biggest recruiting event of the summer.

LSU will be battling it out with a number of elite programs as the recruitment of Simmons heats up even greater over the next few weeks.

Collins, who already sits at 6-foot-3, 225-pounds, is receiving calls from virtually every Power Five program in the country. Being prioritized by a handful of SEC schools, the Tigers are looking to separate themselves from the pack. For now, it appears to be a race between LSU and Texas for Simmons' services.

The film on Collins doesn’t lie. Using his length and strength to his advantage, he plows through defenders at ease with tremendous technique. The quick feet he attains gives him a severe advantage in the trenches, being extremely well-developed for his age.

The Texas native battles it out against some of the top programs in the country on a weekly basis and routinely holds his own. After he dominated throughout his junior campaign, Simmons will look to continue polishing his game as a senior this fall.

Look for the Tigers to put their foot on the gas for Simmons. A high-priority target in the 2024 class, LSU could put themselves in great position with a standout visit next weekend.
