When Brian Kelly accepted the job at LSU, one of his main objectives in recruiting was to keep the top talent in the state of Louisiana in Louisiana and to bring home talent that left to play for the Tigers' rivals. Kelly has achieved that goal signing some of the top in-state talent during the early signing period a couple weeks ago, but he may have just landed his biggest commitment yet. Five-star defensive lineman and the top player in the state of Louisiana, Dominick McKinley from Lafayette, has just announced his commitment to the Tigers. McKinley was previously committed to Texas A&M but re-opened his recruitment when Jimbo Fisher was relieved of his duties in College Station. So how does McKinley fit in to what LSU wants to do defensively and how big of a get was this for Coach Kelly and the rest of the Tigers coaching staff?

Brian Smith, Locked On's official recruiting insider, joins Caroline Fenton of Locked On LSU to break down what LSU is getting in the five-star Louisiana native and when Tiger fans can expect production from him. Plus, the fun isn't quite over as far as the 2024 class is concerned. Five-star two-way speedster, Terry Bussey, is another A&M commit that has re-opened his commitment and LSU is firmly in the mix of his next possible destinations. What does LSU have to do to land Bussey? What would he do for the team in 2024?
