Five-star Ishmael Sopsher is the top-ranked defensive tackle in the 2019 class and the second-best prospect in the state of Louisiana rankings. It’s important LSU lands local players like him.

And it looks like the Tigers might be tough to beat. Sopsher, who looks to be down to LSU and Alabama, said recently that he plans to play with his brother in college and that he’s only going to consider programs that will take both of them.

Rodney Sopsher is a defensive end at Summit (Miss.) Southwest Mississippi C.C. whose recruitment has not taken off, but LSU has reportedly told the Sopshers that they would take both in their 2019 recruiting class.
