BREAKING: Landyn Watson is LSU's first commit for 2021

Tiger fans have been waiting for the first commitment for LSU's class of 2021 to drop and four-star outside linebacker Landyn Watson‍ is the one who broke the ice.

The 6-foot-2, 240-pound defensive end/linebacker from Hutto, Texas was on the LSU campus Monday for an official visit.  That visit was all it took for him to give Ed Orgeron his verbal commitment,

“Priority was the major factor and they treat me like priority,” Watson told TigerBait.com.

Watson committed to LSU over offers from TCU, Notre Dame, Michigan State, Oklahoma State, Baylor and many others.

One Texas recruiting source who has eeen Watson in action says that he is very similar to class of 2020 LSU commitment Alec Bryant except that he’s an inch or two taller.

Watson tells TigerBait that he’s being recruited as an outside linebacker in LSU’s 3-4 defense

Ed Orgeron was ecstatic to get Watson’s commitment.

“He jumped out of his seat and was screaming,” Watson said.

LSU’s new football operations building was a big eye opener during Watson’s Monday visit.  

“My favorite part about the facility was the locker room and the players lounge,” he said.
