You know he is always lurking in the recruiting game, so it should not be a surprise that LSU baseball coach Jay Johnson just struck again.
Johnson and the Tigers on Wednesday landed a commitment from middle infielder Graham Houston, who is the No. 18 overall high school prospect in the country by Baseball America out of Venice High in Venice, Florida.

Houston is rated as the No. 34 overall player in the country by Perfect Game, which pushed LSU’s Class of 2027 from No. 2 to No. 1 in the nation with the commitment, replacing Tennessee.
LSU has 13 commitments with five top 100 players by Perfect Game. Tennessee has 10 commitments with seven top 100 players. Texas, TCU and Auburn round out the top five.
Houston (6-0, 172 pounds) is a switch hitter and throws right handed.
