Edward Ingram to LSU: Tigers Land 4-Star OG Prospect

The LSU Tigers landed a major piece of their future offensive line Saturday by securing a commitment from 4-star guard Edward Ingram.

Ingram made the announcement on Twitter Friday night:

According to 247sports, the 6'4", 325-pound lineman is the No. 8 guard, No. 30 player from the state of Texas and No. 208 recruit overall in the class of 2017.

As seen in this tweet courtesy of Ingram, the DeSoto, Texas, native appeared to have a great time during his visit to Baton Rouge, Louisiana:

Per 247sports, LSU beat out a number of high-profile schools in its pursuit of Ingram, including rival Alabama Crimson Tide.

Head coach Les Miles' LSU teams are known for grinding out yardage on the ground and imposing their will on opposing defenses.

That should mesh well with Ingram's skill set, as he is a massive athlete who excels at mauling defensive linemen who are usually smaller and not as strong as he is.

Ingram already has the size and strength needed to be a stud guard at the collegiate level, and if he continues to develop in high school this season, then it isn't outside the realm of possibility that he could make an immediate impact in the SEC.
