LSU Football: No. 1 Target Colin Simmons Sets Commitment Date

The Tigers' top target in the 2024 class reveals commitment date, LSU turning up the heat.

LSU priority target Colin Simmons has set his commitment date. The five-star, top 10 prospect nationally will reveal his college decision on August 10th where he will choose between LSU, Texas and Miami. 

Simmons, the No. 1 EDGE in America, is fresh off of a three-day stay in Baton Rouge where he was joined by Duncanville (Tex.) teammate Caden Durham and several other top prospects down South. 

LSU held its Bayou Splash recruiting event on Friday where Simmons arrived in the morning, but after the event, the coveted prospect stayed the weekend in Death Valley, departing on Sunday.

It quickly became a monster development within the program after Simmons decided to remain in Baton Rouge rather than go visit Texas or Texas A&M before the recruiting dead period started up again on Tuesday.

There was a five-day window for prospects to meet face-to-face with programs and Simmons decided to stay in Baton Rouge for three of the five days before heading back home to Texas.

The last few weeks have seen the recruiting battle for Simmons get hot between LSU and Texas, and with a decision date now in the fold, things will only ramp up even more.

For LSU, it’s a positive sign to see Simmons set his commitment date after the Tigers got the final swing over the weekend, but Texas remains confident.

As the days continue, LSU and Texas will continue their pursuit of the program-changing prospect with a decision date now in the mix.
