LSU's linebackers group was probably the most improved unit of the entire LSU team and let's give big-time credit to coach Blake Baker, who has helped Damone Clark become a Butkus Award finalist.
We don't yet know if Baker will be retained on staff or if he'll seek other coaching opportunities, which he already has, according to a source. But regardless, rebuilding the LB room in 2022 will be critical for future success.
With the NCAA contact period beginning Sunday (Nov. 28) and running for almost two weeks, the LSU staffers are hitting the road recruiting, and Baker is hitting some key 2022 targets this week.
On Tuesday, he'll visit with four-star LB Harold Perkins, a New Orleans native, who was at the game Saturday night to watch LSU's comeback win over Texas A&M. The Aggies are considered the favorite to land Perkins.
Baker will then visit LSU linebacker commitment Demario Tolan, a four-star recruit, on Wednesday at his home in Orlando. Currently, Tolan is the lone LB commitment in the 2022 class. Baker was a key reason why Tolan committed to the Tigers to begin with and their relationship dates back to Baker's time at Miami.
There's a one day quiet period on Sunday (Dec. 12) for official visits on-campus, and then it's a dead period leading into the early signing period Dec. 15.
After the decommitments of running back Tre'Vonte Citizen and wide receiver Aaron Anderson, LSU's 2022 class now has 13 commitments and sit at No. 20 overall, per Rivals.
