Recruiting: Katy, Texas OL Coen Echols commits to LSU
LSU continues to add top flight offensive linemen in the 2024 recruiting class.
Coen Echols from Katy, Texas pledged Friday to the Tigers after it came down to an LSU-Auburn finish.
The 6-4, 290-pound Echols originally committed to Texas A&M on June 23 but decommitted December 8. His visit to LSU on December 15 sealed the deal.
Echols requested a sit down meeting with LSU offensive line coach Brad Davis, who was instrumental in the final outcome. LSU tackle Will Campbell also played a role, acting as Echols’ host during his visit to Baton Rouge.
Capable of lining up as a tackle, guard or center, Echols could develop into a outstanding center if he concentrates in that area. He plays with both leverage and power, finishing blocks and playing with a chip on his shoulder.
Slotted as the 12th best tackle, Echols is behind only 5-star signee Weston Davis – the 5th rated overall tackle in the class – in LSU’s 2024 class.
