Orgeron, LSU’s national championship, 15-0 head coach in the 2019 season, rejoined LSU as a special assistant to head coach Lane Kiffin last week for defense and recruiting.
Royal was scheduled to visit Tennessee this Friday and was expected to visit Ole Miss in the middle part of this month. He is scheduled to visit Florida on June 12.
He joined two other five-star recruits at LSU with Coach O over the weekend – Jalen Brewster, the No. 1 composite overall player and defensive lineman for the Class of 2027 by 247sports.com from Cedar Hill High in Cedar Hill, Texas, and No. 2 athlete Xavier Sabb (6-1, 180), who is the No. 31 prospect in the country and No. 2 in New Jersey from Glassboro High in Glassboro.
Four-star prospect Abraham Sesay (6-5, 215), the No. 6 edge in the nation and No. 27 player overall from Downington East High in Exton, Pennsylvania, was also at LSU over the weekend. And there were two three-star players as well – No. 30 safety Adryan Cole (6-2, 190) of Douglas County High in Atlanta and No. 28 athlete Markez Davis (6-3, 178) of Northwest High in Opelousas.
Royal is scheduled to visit Florida on June 12.
