LSU to welcome 2016 recruiting class with billboards (Photos)

LSU came up with a creative way to welcome its 2016 signing class.

The program will honor its signees with billboards in the Baton Rouge area and all across the state of Louisiana.

The Tigers have already officially welcomed five early enrollees to the team, so their photos are already on display in Baton Rouge. Those five early enrollees are running back Devin White, defensive back Saivion Smith, linebacker Michael Divinity and wide receivers Stephen Sullivan and Dee Anderson. All are four-star recruits.

The rest of the Tigers’ signing class will get the same treatment once their commitments become official on national signing day on Wednesday.

According to Rivals, LSU’s class is currently ranked second in the nation.
