The top linebacker in the Bayou State stayed home, making a statement during first offseason.
Brian Kelly and the LSU football staff continue locking down the state of Louisiana on the recruiting trail, and after signing the No. 1 linebacker in "The Boot" last year, it provided the Tigers with a lethal athlete at the second level.
Singleton, one of the top overall linebackers in the country and a player who is as versatile as they come at the high school level, gave the Tigers another in-state recruiting victory.In 2024, he'll have an opportunity to learn from future first round NFL Draft selection Harold Perkins and savvy veteran Greg Penn III.
When LSU was itching for another linebacker in its 2024 class, Singleton checked the boxes immediately and gave defensive coordinator Blake Baker a monster weapon for the foreseeable future. By no means is Singleton a “speedster,” but his quickness and twitchiness has him get from Point A to Point B at an impressive rate. When watching his tape, the explosiveness and hard-hitting ability paired with versatility at different slots has him as one of the more unique prospects in Louisiana in this 2024 class.It’s no secret LSU rolled out the red carpet for Singleton each time he stepped foot in Baton Rouge last year.
Now, after making his way to campus as a summer enrollee, McKinley is in Death Valley with an opportunity to see the field during year one in the purple and gold. The freshman phenom hovered around the 275-285 pound range during his senior year of high school with Acadiana , but has bulked up significantly this offseason.It's plain and simple: McKinley is expected to take snaps during his first season in Baton Rouge due to depth issues and the Tigers have been pleased with his development so far.
