Edwards picks LSU

Tyler Edwards, one of Alabama's top remaining targets of the recruiting season, verbally committed to LSU on Saturday. The four-star tight end prospect from Monroe, La., made his announcement during ESPN's broadcast of the Under Armour All-Star game.

No surprise there. Edwards' older brother, Eric, was a tight end on the Tigers' 2003 national-championship team, and most considered the younger Edwards ticketed for the Tigers from the beginning.

But largely due to the Edwards family's relationship with Nick Saban, Alabama made Edwards' final 3 along with LSU and Florida. But in the end, Edwards went with his heart, and I don't suppose you can blame him for that.
