Five-star safety Jacoby Mathews commits to LSU

The LSU football programs class of 2022 picked up one of the nation's most elite athletes Friday as Five-star pospect Jacoby Mathews‍ of Ponchatoula has announced his commitment he's committed.

The 6-foot-2, 195-pound safety committed to LSU over Florida, Alabama, Clemson, Mississippi State, Oklahoma and Texas.  

Mathews who played quarterback for the Green Wave currently projects as a safety but he could also grow into a hybrid outside linebacker.  

With Mathews commitment, LSU now has 13 commitments for the class of 2022.  The class is a consensus Top-3 ranked recruiting class nationally.  

LSU wide receivers coach Mickey Joseph is the biggest factor in Mathews choosing the Tigers and he’s also been assisted by new defensive coordinator Daronte Jones.
