Defensive tackle Dominic Livingston commits to LSU during official visit

LSU picked up a commitment from one of the class of 2018’s top defensive tackles on Friday night.

Dominic Livingston, a 6-foot-3, 340-pound run stuffer pledged his commitment to the Tigers after having once been committed to Texas A&M. He decommitted from the Aggies a couple months ago.

Livingston and his family made an official visit to LSU this weekend, a report from Shea Dixon of 247Sports noted.

Livingston, a Houston native (Aldine Davis High School), is rated as a 3-star prospect by the 247Sports Composite and is the nation’s No. 34 defensive tackle.

In addition to holding offers from LSU and A&M, Missouri also was on his radar.

Tigers head coach Ed Orgeron tweeted about his new commitment:

Hold That Tiger!
