LSU Recruiting: Tigers Trending for 4-Star Defensive Back Javien Toviano

Tigers are in an all out pursuit for the Texas native, hoping to sway him out of Lone Star state

Despite having a monstrous 2023 class to this point, LSU has their foot on the gas with a number of the nation’s top uncommitted prospects. One name that this program is in heavy pursuit of is 4-star defensive back Javien Toviano.

The Texas native took a visit to Baton Rouge for the Tigers’ home opener against Southern where things began trending in the right direction even more. 

It’s no secret this program is pushing for the versatile defensive back, even showing him tremendous amounts of attention all over social media with the hashtag trend #Toviano2TheBoot

#LSU is set to host 5-star (2024) EDGE Colin Simmons and 4-star (2023) safety Javien Toviano for tonight’s matchup against Southern.

Two of the top players in the state of Texas who are visiting Baton Rouge over the Alabama-Texas game.

Says a lot about the culture in BR.

We’ve seen this social media trend used on a number of priority targets, specifically 5-star offensive lineman Zalance Heard with #Lance2LSU; 4-star safety Derek Williams with #BringDerekBackHome; 4-star quarterback Rickie Collins with #RickieReconsidered and 4-star safety Kylin Jackson’s #KeepKylinHome.

LSU has gone all out with their pursuit of Toviano, even getting former LSU star Tyrann Mathieu in on the action.

Toviano is one of the top uncommitted prospects left on the market and the latest hashtag trend of #Toviano2TheBoot could help in a big way. 

The high 4-star prospect has been on campus on numerous occasions, but LSU will need to make a big push to land the Texas native who is also keeping an eye on what the Texas Longhorns are up to.

Look for LSU to come in hot this fall to secure Toviano. A dynamic defensive back who has all the intangibles of continuing the “DBU'' tradition, Kelly and his secondary staff will keep pushing for the Lone Star state prospect.
