5-star LSU commit appears to have 1 foot out the door with SEC rival pushing

It doesn't feel reassuring when a five-star commit visits another program. It feels even worse when said five-star commit posts one of the most hype OV videos of the recruiting cycle while on an official visit with a conference rival.

Well, that very thing happened to Brian Kelly and the Tigers when five-star wide receiver Tristen Keys, who committed to LSU just under three months ago, visited the Tennessee Volunteers.

Don't get it twisted, Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel pulled out all of the stops, including aligning Keys' visit with that of five-star quarterback Faizon Brandon, who committed to the Vols nearly a year ago.

However, after Keys posted a hype video from his official visit to Knoxville, it appears that five-star LSU commit might be a little more interested (and excited) to play for one of the Tigers' in-conference rivals.

In fact, following his visit with the Volunteers, Keys told 247Sports that the Volunteers have "always been high for [him]. I love Tennessee." Following the official visit, it is more apparent than ever that even though Keys is committed to the Tigers, he is keeping his options open.

After the video from his official visit gained attention on social media, LSU fans took to their platforms to voice their distaste for Keys' "theatrics." Many even going as far as to ask why he would commit just to get this excited about his time in Tennessee.

"Commit? I don’t think you know what that word means. It’s time to drop the term 'commit' from our college dictionary," one college football fan wrote.

Yes, it would be a huge loss for the Tigers if Keys decided to flip his commitment to the Volunteers, especially when the two teams line up against each other in the future. However, if Kelly can cement Keys' commitment to LSU, this video might hit a little differently down the line.
