Defensive tackle Eric Taylor commits to LSU

LSU now has it's fifth defensive line commitment for the class of 2020 in Eric Taylor‍ of Hewitt-Trussville.

Ed Orgeron was the first to offer Taylor back in May of last year and after a great official visit this past weekend Taylor pulled the trigger on the Tigers.

The 6-foot-5, 290-pound Taylor chose LSU over offers from Alabama, Auburn, Arkansas, Ole Miss, Kentucky, Oregon and many others.

Taylor finished his junior season with 47 tackles with 12 for a loss and three sacks.  He’s being recruited to LSU by running backs coach Tommie Robinson.

LSU now has 19 commitments for the class of 2020.
