By Staff Report Feb 4, 2013, 11:22am

A photo look at some of Louisiana State's incoming football recruits.



After playing for the national championship in the 2011 season, Les Miles and LSU put together another solid season in 2012.

The Tigers went 10-3 (6-2 in the SEC) and finished No. 8 in the BCS standings, but in Baton Rouge it's championship or bust.

With that in mind, LSU has put together another stellar recruiting class led by some of the best young athletes in the country. Take a look at some of the players that will become Tigers next season.

As of Feb. 4
