The Haul: LSU Signs Impressive Offensive Line Class, Elite-Level Talent
LSU offensive line coach Brad Davis is transforming the Tigers' offensive line at a rapid pace after securing an impressive group during the Early Signing Period.
The architect behind the Joe Moore Award finalist LSU offensive line, Davis is building a star-studded group for the long haul.
A key assistant on Brian Kelly's staff, we've seen the coveted coach dominate the recruiting trail.
Now, he's seen six linemen put pen to paper on his way to another loaded class.
The Offensive Line Haul:
Weston Davis: 5-Star

It was a rollercoaster recruitment for Echols. The one-time Texas A&M pledge has heard from several of the top programs in the country with Auburn believed to be the frontrunner down the stretch, but after a visit to Death Valley, LSU picked up all the momentum.
