Ed Orgeron and LSU have had a busy weekend.

The Tigers broke a SEC record with 14 players selected in the 2020 NFL Draft and tied Ohio State's 2004 mark for the most players taken in a single year.

The defending national champs were also busy looking ahead, adding two of the best players from Texas this week.

On Thursday, speedy 4-star wide receiver JoJo Earle of Aledo committed to LSU. Three days later, Landon Jackson of Pleasant Grove (Texarkana) tweeted Sunday his announcement to head to Baton Rouge and play for the Tigers.

The 6-foot, 6-inch, 240-pound Jackson was a first team Junior All-American selection after racking up over 100 tackles and 16 sacks for the 4A Division 2 state champs.

Earle was a second team Junior All-American selection after hauling in 84 receptions for over 1,600 yards and 15 touchdowns. He helped lead the Bearcats to a state-best ninth state title for 11-man football.

The Lone Star standouts join an already loaded class that features 5-star linebacker Raesjon Davis of Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.), 4-star wide receiver Deion Smith of Provine (Jackson, Miss.), 3-star defensive tackle Anthony Hundley of Booker T. Washington (Miami), 3-star defensive back Dakota Mitchell of Winter Park (Fla.) and Peyton Todd of West Monroe (La.).
