It was an Independence Day commitment for Zion Williams, the four-star defensive lineman from Texas giving his verbal to LSU<\/a> on the Fourth of July.<\/p>\n

Williams is the thirteenth commitment for LSU in a class that is now No. 9 in the nation according to 247Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A 6-foot-5, 330-pound defensive lineman from Lufkin (Lufkin, Texas), Williams is the No. 174 prospect in the ESPN 300<\/a>. He is ranked a four-star recruit by both ESPN and Rivals<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He was a dominant player for a Lufkin team that went 5-6 last season<\/a>. Williams has tremendous size that blends well with his agility and quickness to make him quite the imposing interior defensive lineman.<\/p>\n

Williams picked LSU from an offer list<\/a> that also included Alabama<\/a>, Auburn<\/a>, Baylor, Florida<\/a> and TCU among others.<\/p>\n

He committed on Thursday with a social media post:<\/p>\n
