LSU Finishes With The No. 7 Recruiting Class For 2017

LSU signed 23 players on National Signing Day and finished with the No. 7 recruiting class for 2017, according to ESPN, 247Sports, Rivals, and Scout.

While the coaching staff missed out on five-star defensive tackle Marvin Wilson, they were able to gain signatures from three uncommitted prospects in four-star linebacker Tyler Taylor, four-star safety Todd Harris, and five-star pass rusher K'Lavon Chaisson.

LSU did not have any commitments flip to other schools but four-star JUCO WR commit Stephen Guidry announced early Wednesday morning that he would not be signing with the Tigers. Guidry will return to Hinds Community College in Mississippi for one more year.

All in all, it was successful signing day for new head coach Ed Orgeron who took over four games into the 2016 season after Les Miles was fired. Orgeron was able to keep LSU's recruiting class intact and gain major commitments after landing the job full-time.
