The LSU football staff is now up to 20 commitments, with Alabama's Justin Thomas handing over his verbal commitment to the staff on Saturday morning.

Justin Thomas is now on board with LSU

Thomas, a senior at Spanish Fort High (Spanish Fort, Ala.), gave his pledge to area recruiter Dameyune Craig, a Mobile native. Thomas is being recruited to LSU as a defensive end prospect, and he held offers from the Tigers, Alabama and more. At 6-foot-5 and 255 pounds, he's ranked as the No. 20 strongside defensive end prospect in the 2017 class.

Thomas is LSU's fourth commitment on the defensive line, joining fellow Alabama lineman Neil Farrell as well as Louisiana linemen Tyler Shelvin and Aaron Moffitt.

With Thomas' commitment, the Tigers strengthen their grip on the nation's No. 3 class, ranked only behind Ohio State and Alabama.
