LSU has pulled off somewhat of a shocker on the recruiting trail, reeling in a verbal commitment from four-star wide receiver Jhamon Ausbon.

Ausbon dialed up the staff to deliver his commitment to head coach Les Miles and wide receivers coach Dameyune Craig, then posted his announcement to Twitter on Saturday evening.

This is LSU’s third wide receiver commitment in the 2017 class, with Ausbon joining fellow four-stars Mannie Netherly, also a Texas prospect, and Stephen Guidry, who is ranked as the No. 1 JUCO wide receiver prospect in the country.

Ausbon, a Houston native who is now enrolled at the IMG Academy, gives the Tigers 14 total commitments for the 2017 class, bumping LSU up to the No. 5 class in the country. The Tigers are within fractions of a point of jumping Michigan for the No. 4 class.

At 6-foot-2.5 and 217 pounds, Ausbon is ranked as the No. 8 wide receiver in the country and the No. 41 overall prospect in the class.

LSU beat out Texas A&M, Auburn, Michigan and others for his commitment.
