Arizona already knew it'd finding out its fate with two highly-touted recruits on Tuesday — 4-star defensive backs Lamar Jackson and Brandon Burton.

You can add a defensive lineman to that list. That is, Long Beach City College defensive lineman Josh Allen, who will announce on a local TV station and YouTube at 5 p.m. Arizona time on Tuesday.

I chronicled the up-and-down Allen recruiting saga here, but the short version — he committed to Arizona in July, decommitted in November, Arizona still pursued him, and according to Allen, LSU came in with an offer recently.

The Wildcats are expected to land Allen still, though. 

Allen is rated a 3-star defensive lineman by Scout.com, down from four-stars in all likelihood because he sat out his sophomore season at LBCC in anticipation (originally) of enrolling at Arizona early. That didn't work out, obviously.
