Five Recruits that LSU Football will look to flip on the recruiting trail
This weekend marked the first weekend that the LSU Football team could host recruits again as the dead period came to an end. Aside from the top uncommitted recruits LSU had hosted the Tigers also hosted a handful of recruits that are committed elsewhere. As LSU continues to build out its third-ranked recruiting class, look out for these five recruits who LSU will look to flip.
Jaboree Antoine - Miami Commit
For the majority of his recruitment, Jaboree Antoine was committed to LSU before reopening his recruitment choosing the Miami Hurricanes this time around. Given the fact that Antoine is one of the top recruits in the state in Louisiana, the LSU Tigers will continue their push to get Antoine back on board.
Phillip Wright - Michigan Commit
Early on, the LSU Tigers didn't prioritize landing the Destrehan native as they targeted receivers like Dakorien Moore, Jaime Ffrench, and Kaliq Lockett. Now as this cycle progresses, the LSU Football program has ramped up its recruitment of Phillip Wright. The interest in Wright has ramped up in part due to his speed as he ran a 10.46 in the 100 meter this Spring. The Tigers got Phillip Wright on campus for Bayou Splash and it seems likely that Wright ends up joining this class.
Kade Phillips - Texas Commit
When Kade Phillips picked Texas it didn't come as a shock but, it left the door open for LSU to flip him down the line. At Texas, Phillips is likely to play safety while LSU recruited him as a cornerback where they feel he could be a future first round pick. It'll be tough for LSU to flip the Texas native from the in-state Longhorns but, Corey Raymond's track record will be a key factor in LSU's pursuit.
Jaiden Braker - South Carolina Commit
When it comes to linebackers in this recruiting cycle do not panic if Blake Baker brings in three-star recruits as he's already proved his eye for talent when he was the first SEC coach to offer four-star Charles Ross. The Tigers hosted Jaiden Braker for Bayou Splash and officially started Flip Watch as the Tigers offered the impressive linebacker. On3's Chad Simmons has entered a crystal ball in the Tigers' favor signaling we may see a flip sooner rather than later.
Maison Dunn - Ole Miss Commit
This weekend it came as a little bit of a surprise when LSU got the Ole Miss commit to Baton Rouge for Bayou Splash. Dunn is the prototypical Corey Raymond cornerback at 6 foot 3 inches and 180 pounds. Ole Miss has sputtered a bit on the recruiting trail as of late and the Tigers could deal an even bigger blow to Ole Miss if they flip Maison Dunn.
