LSU fans have been waiting for a loud boom to come out of Tennessee that would be felt down in Baton Rouge.

On Monday, it came by way of JaCoby Stevens.

The nation’s No. 2-ranked safety and No. 27 prospect overall in the 247Sports Composite re-committed to the Tigers at a press conference at Oakland High School.

The 6-foot-2, 200-pound Stevens was committed to the Tigers once before. However, he backed off that pledge in November, citing speculation over Les Miles and his staff’s future in Baton Rouge as the main reason.

Three months later, LSU took another step back in its pursuit of Stevens when LSU Director of Player Personnel Austin Thomas left for USC.

From February through all of April, LSU seemed to be a non-factor for the No. 2 player in Tennessee. That was up until the beginning of May when Thomas, who has always been instrumental in Stevens’ recruitment due to his ties up in the Volunteer State, found his way back to LSU.

Once Thomas got back to Baton Rouge, he immediately got the Tigers back into the mix when many felt that Georgia had held the upper hand. Then it was Alabama, before LSU turned the Tide and landed the big prize with a strong closing from Thomas, Corey Raymond, Dave Aranda and the Tigers.

LSU beat out the likes of Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Ohio State, Auburn, Clemson and many others for Stevens’ commitment.
