Though he’s only a week into his new job as defensive line coach at LSU, Ed Orgeron is hitting the recruiting trail hard. His new voicemail message, which was played Tuesday on ESPN Baton Rouge, proves that.

“Hi this is coach Ed Orgeron with LSU football,” the message says. “Sorry I cant yake your call right now, but I’m out recruiting the best football players in the country for LSU.”

His outstanding reputation as a recruiter is one of the reasons Les Miles added Orgeron, the former defensive coordinator and interim head coach at USC, to his staff.

With National Signing Day just two weeks away, we’ll see what kind of impact he has on the Tigers’ 2015 class, which is currently ranked No. 13 in the country by Rivals.com.
