Elite in-state DT Lawrence commits to LSU over Ohio State

On Friday, elite 2016 defensive tackle Rashard Lawrence opted to stay in the Pelican State -- choosing hometown LSU over Ohio State. 

The consensus 4-star athlete falls in the long line of uber-talented 2016 prospects choosing to play their college ball for Les Miles and the Tigers. 

Lawrence is a powerful and naturally strong individual. He uses his hands exceptionally well at the point of attack -- which also includes utilizing short-area quickness to burst into the backfield with regularity. 

Without question, Lawrence is a significant pickup, and is a potential candidate to take over once Davon Godchaux graduates/leaves early for the 2017 NFL Draft.
