Entering the week, head coach Brian Kelly and the LSU football staff had offered verbal scholarship to 10 Louisiana prospects from the 2024 class.

That number moved up to 11 by week’s end.

Kelly and LSU assistant Frank Wilson stopped in at Acadiana High in Lafayette and extended a verbal scholarship offer to junior defensive lineman Dominick McKinley.

McKinley landed Class 5A All-State Honorable Mention honors after a strong junior season. He finished the year with 86 tackles, 10 sacks, 18 tackles for loss, two interceptions and a touchdown against some of the state’s top competition.

McKinley, who played both end and tackle as a junior, is the third in-state defensive linemen the Tigers have offered this cycle. He joins Lafayette Christian Academy’s Melvin Hills and Westgate’s De’Myrion Johnson.

McKinley has seen his recruitment take off in a big way this past month.

After reeling in offers from programs like Texas and Texas A&M in December, things heated up even more once college coaches hit the road to recruit in January.

This month, scholarship offers are in from Oklahoma, Florida State, South Carolina, Alabama, Michigan State, Ole Miss, Tennessee, Colorado and LSU.

LSU has eight commitments for the 2024 class, but the Tigers have yet to reel in a defensive lineman.

LSU’s 2024 class is ranked No. 9 by the On3 Consensus Football Team Recruiting Rankings.
