Thousands of LSU fans rushed out of their seats and onto the field at Tiger Stadium last during the Tigers’ last-second 32-31 win over SEC rival Alabama. Joining them was one of LSU’s top recruiting targets, four-star Arlington (Texas) Martin defensive back Javien Toviano.

In a video posted to Twitter after the game, Toviano can be seen with family in the LSU visitors’ section ahead of the final play of the game. When the Tigers’ scored on a two-point conversion to walk off and win the game, Toviano immediately rushed down to the field to celebrate, dodging LSU fans on the way down.

The Tigers are currently considered the heavy leader to land Toviano, according to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine (RPM). It gives the Tigers a 93.7 percent chance of securing his commitment.

According to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies, Javien Toviano ranks as the No. 41 overall prospect and No. 5 safety in the nation.

Javien Toviano Scouting Summary

“Heady, pure football player who makes an impact in all three phases. Projects as a defensive back long-term with the highest upside likely being at safety. Has good size at 6-foot-.5, 180 pounds with long arms (6-foot-4 wing-span). Instinctive and physical as a defender. Diagnoses and triggers quickly as a run defender. Has very good change of direction with the ability to redirect in coverage, which he backs up with strong agility marks in the combine setting.

… Has performed well in covering some touted receivers at the high school level. Doubles as a running back and makes plays on special teams. Lacks the pure top-end speed of top cornerbacks. Plays faster than he tests, but will need to improve his speed to be a top corner. Physical and on-field skill set lines up best at safety at this time.” — Charles Power, On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings
