The final factors for me were the education, another place that I can call home and as much playing time as I can get," Amadi told TigerBait.com.
"Coach Chavis was recruiting me very hard and he is a very good guy. I have always watched him coach even when he was at Tennessee. He and I had a strong connection and he likes the way I play, especially the way I return kicks and everything."
Amadi (5-9, 175) will graduate from high school at mid-term and enroll at LSU in mid-January.
Les Miles was ecstatic to hear the news on Amadi's decision.
"He is very excited and he said he can't wait to coach me," Amadi said. "He said he was going to try and get me No.7 which is a great number at LSU."
