Informal visits to campus? (bringing a family member that is a possible recruit)

Since this isn't the OT, I am hoping to get a serious answer! 
I have a nephew who is a legitimate prospect for 2015. He has school choices of A&M, Arky, and LSU right now. His dad and that side of the family are solid A&M, but he does have some interest in LSU. He asked me to take him to a game in Baton Rouge this upcoming season so he could see what it was like.
He was playing both baseball and football, but even though he was going to compete for the starting QB job at his 5A high school, he decided to focus on baseball. He just turned 16 last week, is 6'4", weighs 235 and can hit 88 on his fastball (official as of a year ago... he claims he can hit 90 now).
My question is this... Should I try to arrange a tour of the facilities for him when we go to a game? If so, who should I contact and how far in advance does this need to be done?
Is there any chance of doing anything that would run the risk of any hurting him with any compliance/recruiting issues. I don't think any of his family will take him to LSU willingly, so I may be his only hope! Any thoughts are appreciated!!!

you sure he does not want to play safety in the NFL?

as long as you make proper contact you'll be ok, they're well-versed at handling these issues appropriately.

If he's a baseball prospect, make sure he makes contact with Mainieri and goes to a big SEC game. There is no way he will want to go to ATM after experiencing a game in the box.

Pick any weekend. If there's a home SEC series the box will be packed.

You can contact the coach through email off of the official LSU webpage and he should answer with what you need to do or who you need to contact. I sent him an email the other day about something and he replied in less than 30 min.

I went through this with my son and 2 of his teammates in Tupelo,Ms and LSU. LSU did not recruit North Miss. at all,but they did not know I was born and raised in La. and bleed P.& G.. Moved to Ms. for a job 21 years ago. I called the position coach at LSU and told him I was from La. and my son wants to attend LSU, not Ms. schools. The coach took over, asked for game film from Soph./Jr. years and his H.S.coachs name and number. Philip got on a mailing list and a phone call list as a Jr.. Asked to attend 2 camps. one as Jr. ,one as Sr.. They even invited me down for a Sat./Sun. and to bring 2 players with us they saw on film. It all went well until the end, and they offered Philip a Grayshirt/Walk-on deal and the only Center Schooly went to Ben ? that played about 4 years. Philip went on to a Miss. school,but LSU's recruiting went well and we were pleased. Philip was good,All-District,etc. but not quite good enough for the only LSU Center scholly. Good luck,contact them.
