"It's close to home, and it's the home team," Guidry said.
The Tigers join an offer list which already includes Arkansas, Louisville, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Oklahoma, Southern Miss, and Tennessee.
He committed to Mississippi early in the process before re-opening his recruiting process in December. Since re-opening his recruiting process Guidry has been keeping an open mind, but five schools have caught his attention.
"Top 5 in no order: LSU, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Arkansas, and Tennessee," Guidry said
