"I had four great universities to choose from but I'm going to be committing to the LSU Tigers," Dellinger said in his announcement video.

"I want to play against teams like Alabama, Auburn, Georiga, all those teams every day. Not just watch them, but play them."

"I just had a different feeling around LSU than I did anywhere else. Coach Cregg was a major factor in my decision. When I went on the visit, just seeing how he interacted with the players, my family, all the recruits... I could just tell he was the coach I wanted to play for. He's a great person and a great coach."

"And the same thing with Coach O... when I was talking to him, seeing his energy, talking about football, I just wanted to go play right then and there."
