Four-star safety and Class of 2016 recruit Eric Monroe, out of North Shore High School in Houston, has committed to LSU. Monroe made the announcement on his personal Twitter page.

Ranked the No. 2 safety in his class by 247 Sports, Monroe had received offers from a myriad number of schools including Texas A&M, Florida, Notre Dame, Ohio State and Michigan State among others. In a year, he’ll take his talents to Baton Rouge and become another member of head coach Les Miles’ signature hard-hitting defenses. The Tigers ranked eighth in the nation in total defense last year, and adding Monroe to the mix will surely keep the team at a similar or higher position in the rankings.
LSU went 8-5 (4-4 SEC) and lost to Notre Dame in the Music City Bowl. The Tigers open the 2015 season at home against the Southland’s McNeese State Cowboys on September 5.
