Tyler (6-3, 225) is a three-star prospect.

Here are the remaining six commitments LSU hopes to secure today and tonight or over the next two days of the early signing period.

-No. 4 CB DJ Pickett, 6-4, 178, Zephyrhills High, Zephyrhills, Florida.

-No. 7 WR Derek Meadows, 6-5, 200, Bishop Gorman High, Las Vegas, Nevada.

-No. 77 DT Zion Williams, 6-4, 295, Lufkin High, Lufkin, Texas.

The news has been good throughout the day on LSU keeping its commitment from No. 4 cornerback DJ Pickett of Zephyrhills, Florida. He is expected to announce his decision on Wednesday afternoon, and word has it that will be LSU. But he could always change his mind.
