LSU Football: Tigers Secure Commitment From 5-Star DL Dominick McKinley

LSU

The Bayou Bengals have turned up the heat for McKinley this fall, and in need of depth on the defensive line, they aren't slowing down.

LSU recently hosted four-star defensive lineman Gabriel Reliford for an official visit, and shortly after, the former Texas A&M pledge flipped his commitment to LSU.

The Tigers have now done the same with McKinley? It remains an uphill battle after not receiving an official visit this fall, but with limited time before the NCAA Dead Period kicks in, it's a given LSU attempts to get McKinley to Baton Rouge for an official. Wednesday will be monstrous for this program while they sit down with the coveted prospect.

Oklahoma

The Sooners, along with Texas, have been two programs receiving the latest buzz if McKinley elects to reopen his recruitment. Now, Oklahoma will get their crack at McKinley on Thursday when they make their way to Lafayette for an in-home visit.

Texas

Again, the Longhorns have kept their head down in their pursuit of McKinley. They're a program with significant buzz and will get the final in-home visit this week when Steve Sarkisian makes his way to Louisiana.

The Buzz: McKinley Changes Signing Dates

McKinley planned on putting pen to paper during the Early Signing Period, but with significant change in his recruitment last month, the five-star will sign during the late period in February.

The Recap:

Syracuse, Tennessee, Texas A&M, LSU, Oklahoma and Texas all remained in the hunt for McKinley with in-home visits taking place last month, but despite it all, he's now a Tiger.
