LSU extended an offer to five-star Alabama quarterback commit Tua Tagovailoa from Honolulu, HI on Tuesday.

He is No. 1 dual-threat quarterback in the country for 2017.

Tagovailoa, a 6-1, 212-pound dual-threat prospect has been committed to the Crimson Tide since May and is expected to enroll early.

One of his main recruiters at Alabama is offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin, who has been recently linked to the LSU job.

LSU currently has two quarterbacks committed for the class of 2017 in pro-style prospect Myles Brennan from Bay Saint Louis, MS and dual-threat passer Lowell Narcisse from Saint James, LA.

I've seen Tua's highlights, that being said I'd much rather Myles Brennan.

lsusportsman2•89 months

MUCH MUCH rather Brennan than this dude.

loweralabamatrojan•89 months

Holy crap, if you pull Kiffin and Tua from Bama, that is a MAJOR freaking coup.

Saban may have a coronary over this.

We have a whiney fan base.. Cry we only offer 1 qb.. Cry we offer 4.. There is a reason we offered theses 2 let it play out

sonuvapitcher•89 months

I find it interesting that the kid is a 5 star Bama commit, but with the possibility of a flip, Gorney suddenly states that he's a 4 star.

lol.....'guess that's why they always win the Rivals < and other > sites Top Recruiting Classes each year !! ( Of course, if Les was still around I could understand that philosophy )but, at least now, they're giving us a little wiggle-room hinging on the fact that the present staff can develop our QB's or else they'd dropped him down to a 2 or 3-Star !

Deuces•89 months

First thing I thought was Kiffin when seeing this.

bluephi1914•89 months

man may the best qb win. the more competition we have the better lets just hope there is no qb bias like with the last coaching staff. I love it. keep recruiting till you find one and if brennan want to be another gunner kiel then tear yo az boy. if he truly is a tiger then he will show his feelings and hurt and use it to be the best on the field imo. then throw it back in coach o face like kirk cousins did his gm for not paying him. keep rocking coach o! brennan aint proved ish in college, Brandon harris was once elite and a superstar in the making also.

Kiffin really is coming?

Just_Fight_Baby•89 months

I don't think Brennan is the type to run away from any competition. We have languished at the QB position for too long. Having too many good QBs is a problem I'd love to see at LSU. I have zero doubt that every one will get a chance, and hard work will pay off.

Oyster•89 months

Looks like someone besides Santa is coming to town.

X123F45•89 months

Brennan is a stud.

CaliTigerHB•89 months

I don't mind it at all. Get all the QBs. Also everyone freaking out about Brennan not being dual threat. If Kiffin does come to LSU, he doesn't only play dual threat guys. Cooker was dual threat

TigerFanFromBama•89 months

You guys act like Brennan is the next coming of Peyton Manning or something. If he wants to shy away from competition then that tells me all I need to know about him. If its in his heart to be Tiger then he will sign.

TigerFanFromBama•89 months

*to be a Tiger

KajunGun•89 months

Because Hurts will start the next two years. Recruit the best to be the best.

Whynotme•89 months

Unless Coach O is for sure that Kiffen is coming and that Kiffen had contacted the kid and was told that he will follow you anywhere, this otherwise makes no sense.

J HILL•89 months

he comin cause kiffin comin. why else would you offer a kid with his talent that has been committed to bama since may this late in the recruiting game...

mmcgrath•89 months

It would look odd if he signed with LSU without an offer. LOL

Spankum•89 months

Seems like a risky move to offer a prospect who is already locked in to bama when we have Mr Football from the state of Mississippi already committed.

pellietigersaint•89 months

not every commit is a pussy like Philippe Franks

I thought O said he was only looking for pocket passers?

Fus0623•89 months

You didn't hear the presser? He flipped the script on that as well. He wants Spread Dual Threat guys now

GulfCoast LSU Fan•89 months

In 2018 the starting QB will either be Lowell Narcisse or Lindsey Scott. 2017 will be an open competition. Brennan isn't ready for college football size wise. He will more than likely red shirt next season. To all the people talking about they don't want to piss Brennan off need to get real. Having too many good quarterbacks is a problem that LSU needs!!!

Whynotme•89 months

What kid wants to go to a school with 10 players recruited for 1 position. Lets be real!!

Whynotme•89 months

Then again he was a Cam recruit not a Coach O recruit

CHEDBALLZ•89 months

I think Narcisse will be moved to W.R.
