Baltimore St. Frances is one of the marquee programs in the nation with a deep talent base, and LSU coach Ed Orgeron took notice of it.

During a stop at the school Thursday, the Tigers head man extended nine offers to members of the 2020 and 2022 classes, according to St. Frances co-coach Henry Russell, including the top weakside defensive end in the industry-generated 247Sports Composite, Alabama commit Chris Braswell.

LSU already extended an offer to class of cornerback Jordan Toles, who is also a standout basketball recruit, which means LSU extended 10 offers at the school.

In addition to Braswell, St. Frances co-coach Henry Russell said offers were extended to Braswell, running back Blake Corum (2020), offensive tackle Michael Statham (2020), receiver Traeshon Holden (2020), defensive end Demon Clowney (2020), Virginia Tech linebacker commit Aaron Willis (2021), defensive end Derrick Moore (2022), defensive tackle Nasir Pearce (2022) and quarterback John Griffith (2022).

Braswell, who committed to Alabama in late November, is the No. 18 prospect in the 247Sports Composite, and he remains a hot commodity for a bevy of schools.

Corum is a 5-foot-9, 180-pound running back who can also line up in the slot. His offer list includes Wisconsin, Georgia, Michigan, Nebraska, South Carolina and Michigan State.

Statham is a 6-6, 300-pound offensive tackle who progressed well as his season unfolded. Michigan State, Missouri and West Virginia are among the schools to extend offers.

Holden, who is the No. 45 receiver in the 247Sports Composite, appeared to be close to making a decision, and West Virginia was in a good spot for him until coach Dana Holgorsen left for Houston. Holden is now open in his recruitment and Florida, Georgia Tech, Houston, Michigan, Michigan State, Virginia and Virginia Tech are among his offers.

Clowney is the cousin of Houston Texans defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, and the No. 5 weakside defensive end in the 247Sports Composite. His offer list includes Georgia, Clemson, Michigan, North Carolina, Penn State, Tennessee, South Carolina and Wisconsin.

The offer from LSU is the second big one this week for Willis, who committed to Virginia Tech during the fall despite only being a sophomore at St. Frances. He was also offered by Clemson this week. Florida, Michigan and Virginia also offered Willis.

In the 2022 class, Orgeron offered Moore, Pearce and Griffth, each of whom just finished their freshman seasons. For each, it is their first offer.

The Tigers already offered Toles is a very intriguing prospect because he is also a big basketball recruit. He is the No. 4 safety in 247Sports Composite the class of 2020, and his combination of speed and power is intriguing. Penn State and Michigan are among the schools to have the 6-3, 190-pound Toles high on their boards, and LSU is now in the mix as well.
