LSU Lands Commitment From Alabama LB Monty Rice

The LSU coaching staff received some great news on Monday afternoon when inside linebacker Monty Rice announced that he has committed to the Tigers.

Rice, a 6-1, 227- pound prospect from Madison, AL is rated a four-star prospect by ESPN and Scout. He chose LSU over Georgia and Auburn.

Rice is expected to immediately sign financial aid paperwork with LSU, as will enroll early this upcoming January.

He is the No. 10 inside linebacker in the country and the No. 13 overall player from the state of Alabama for 2017, according to ESPN.

Securing linebackers for the class of 2017 is a top priority for LSU as the Tigers will lose seniors Kendell Beckwith and Duke Riley to graduation.

LSU missed out on top Baton Rouge linebackers Dylan Moses and Chris Allen who are both headed to Alabama next year. The commitment from Rice plugs a major hole for LSU.
