LSU landed a commitment from Northwest Florida catcher Brock Mathis, who committed to LSU on Tuesday, his college tweeted out. After losing catcher Mason Doolittle, who opted not to return to LSU this spring, it fills a big need for the LSU roster.

Coming of Fairfield, Ohio in high school, the 6-1, 200-pound catcher was the No. 42 overall catcher in the country and the No. 4 overall player out of Ohio, according to Perfect Game. He's the No. 51 overall JUCO prospect in the country.

Mathis had originally committed to Louisville coming out of high school.
