Four-star athlete Sage Ryan announced his commitment to LSU Saturday, picking the Tigers over Alabama and others.

Ryan, ranked 62nd overall on the ESPN 300 for 2021, is expected to play safety in college.

The Lafayette, La., native is the cousin of LSU running backs coach Kevin Faulk - who is also the all-time leading rusher in the university's history - and the nephew of former Tigers linebacker Trev Faulk.

Alabama was seen as LSU's greatest threat in the Ryan sweepstakes, but Clemson also made a run at the Lafayette Christian Academy product.

Ryan is the sixth top-100 recruit from the 2021 cycle to commit to the Tigers.
