Glen Logan Commits to LSU: Tigers Land 4-Star Defensive Lineman

LSU's hiring of noted recruiter Ed Orgeron has paid off yet again, as the Tigers landed a commitment Wednesday from one of the top defensive lineman prospects in the country.

Glen Logan, a 4-star recruit from Destrehan, Louisiana, made his decision official via Twitter:

The 6'4", 290-pound Logan, whom 247Sports rated as the No. 255 overall prospect in the 2016 class and the 23rd-best defensive tackle, chose LSU over a slew of suitors, including fellow SEC schools Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Mississippi State, Ole Miss and Texas A&M.

"Logan has been quiet during much of his recruitment, but it was apparent that he was one of the Tigers' top targets in the class," wrote James Smith of NOLA.com.

Though he's listed solely as a defensive tackle on recruiting sites, LSU is looking at Logan as a potential defensive end, as he told Shea Dixon of 247Sports:

"

They have told me they like me at defensive end, and that's good with me. I will play wherever. I like both positions. I am accustomed to playing both at Destrehan, so I know I can play wherever they put me. I'm just happy for the opportunity.

"

Logan is the 11th commitment that LSU has secured for 2016 and the 10th that has at least four stars in 247Sports' composite rankings. His acquisition bumps the Tigers to fifth in the team rankings for 2016, moving ahead of Ole Miss and getting close to Georgia for the SEC lead.

Orgeron, the former Ole Miss head coach and USC interim coach who was hired last winter to coach LSU's defensive line, is also credited with helping the Tigers get a commitment from 5-star tackle Edwin Alexander back in April. He missed out on a pair of Texas-based defensive linemen—Ed Oliver and Kendell Jones—who went with Houston and Alabama, respectively, though Orgeron has been heavily involved in trying to pick up 5-star Louisiana defensive tackle Rashard Lawrence, per Dixon.

LSU is also hoping to grab 4-star Louisiana tackle Stephon Taylor, and the desire to shift Logan to end could help lure Taylor and Lawrence to Baton Rouge.
