Does Jay Johnson ever sleep?
Hours before LSU football is set to play Florida, the Tigers baseball team landed a commitment from 2027 left-handed pitcher Kade Luker. He’s rated as the No. 2 player in Louisiana and 58th nationally.
Luker announced his commitment on his X account.
I’m excited to announce my commitment to Louisiana State University, thank you to my family friends coaches who have helped me through this process. As always the work continues. #GeauxTigers @LSUCoachJ @CoachJordan2 pic.twitter.com/rFfCLsLG4L

Sat 89-91 with a hoppy FB and a tight CB. + Athleticism (6.6 60 & a smooth LH stroke)… Loose, easy arm action points to more velo & impact coming soon 📈
