LSU strikes again in Texas

LSU’s 2017 class is on a roll with commitments, and it is a roll that has taken the Tigers through the Lone Star State.

After landing a pledge from four-star safety Grant Delpit earlier this month, LSU has now added four-star cornerback Kary Vincent Jr . to the fold.

The 5-foot-11, 170-pounder from Port Arthur (Texas) Memorial is the nation’s No. 17 cornerback and No. 122 prospect overall in the 247Sports Composite. The Tigers beat out Texas A&M, Texas, Alabama, Florida State, and many others for his pledge.

Four of LSU's more recent commitments in this class all have strong ties to the Lone Star State with Mannie Netherly and Vincent still residing in Texas. Grant Delpit and Jhamon Ausbon attend IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla., but their immediate families still reside in Texas.

In Vincent, LSU is adding its first true cornerback to this class. He is someone LSU secondary coach Corey Raymond likes a lot as a guy who can play on the outside or cover the slot with his shutdown coverage skills.

Vincent visited LSU on Saturday for a recruiting picnic and announced his commitment on Sunday evening via a pre-recording with Campus Insiders. Bradley Dale Peveto was his primary recruiter for the Tigers with Raymond also helping out.

The Tigers are cleaning up on the recruiting trail in Texas, and Geaux247 will have more on Vincent’s impact to the 2017 class soon.
