New head coach Brian Kelly’s first LSU recruiting class is still a work a progress.

Normally, the Tigers have most of the incoming class wrapped up in the December early signing period, which was added in 2017.

But the Tigers signed only 13 players on Wednesday, perhaps not surprising given the uncertainty in the program since Ed Orgeron’s mid-season firing and the arrival of Kelly from Notre Dame just over two weeks ago.

The early signing period ends Friday and LSU is still waiting on Thursday’s expected decision of Kendrick Law of Shreveport’s Captain Shreve High School.

But Kelly, who has not completed his coaching staff or named either an offensive or defensive coordinator, will likely then turn his attention to the February signing period, which, in addition to high school recruits, could dip into the NCAA’s transfer portal to fill out the class.

There were no real surprises in Wednesday’s signees, which focused heavily on in-state talent and along both lines of scrimmage.

It included 10 of the 13 new players coming from within the state, which included four offensive linemen and two defensive linemen.

“I really like this class and it’s one that fills some immediate needs for us especially on the offensive line,” Kelly said in a statement released by the school. “Louisiana is so vital to our success as a program and we were able to bring the best players in our state to LSU.”

The class also included a quarterback in Lafayette’s Walker Howard of St. Thomas More High School, two defensive backs, a wide receiver, tight end, linebacker and place kicker.

Howard, a long-time commit and the son of former Tiger quarterback Jamie Howard, is probably the star of the class, rated as the top dual-threat quarterback in the nation by ESPN.

He’s one of two legacies in the group as offensive lineman Bo Bordelon of Newman High School in New Orleans, is the son of former LSU All-SEC guard Ben Bordelon.

Another offensive lineman, Will Campbell of Neville High School in Monroe, was the state’s consensus No. 1 prospect.

The Tigers also got two players from Florida and one from Michigan.

“This is a group that will make LSU proud and lay the foundation for the championship program we are building,” Kelly said in the school’s statement.
