This guy is a big lineman who had a lot of preseason accolades and is rated highly by some. Any idea why he didn't have more/bigger offers?

Nice pickup. Does seem strange that he doesn't have bigger offers but I would not be surprised if a bigger school makes a late push. Tanzel Smart had similar offers when he committed and we had to fight off a late push by Ga Tech.

Was told that LSU liked what they saw from him.

Usual Sunbelt CUSA offers. No one interested from the SEC.

Fantastic verbal!
Saw his junior year clips, this fellow can bring it as an interior lineman, explosive & good technique.
Wouldn't be surprised at all if offers start to come in on him.
