BREAKING: Jaelyn Davis-Robinson commits to LSU on National Signing Day
2022 Waxahachie (Tex.) defensive back Jaelyn Davis-Robinson announced he’s committed to LSU on National Signing Day. The Tigers land a speedy 5-11, 180-pound defensive back over the likes of Boston College, Oregon and Wyoming on Wednesday.
According to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies, Davis-Robinson is the No. 50 cornerback in the nation and No. 82 prospect in Texas. According to On3, he’s ranked higher, coming in as the No. 41 cornerback in America and No. 63 prospect in Texas.
Boston College, Wyoming, UNLV and Oregon also hosted him for official visits, including the Ducks this month, who were seen as the leader heading into LSU’s visit.
His impressive track times and inexperience on the defensive side of the ball might mean the Tigers found a sleeper out of Texas.
“The first thing that immediately jumps out with Jaelyn Davis-Robinson is the speed,” On3 director of scouting Charles Power said. “He consistently ran in the 10.8 range or lower in the 100 meters as a junior. You see that speed show up on the field with his ability to stay in phase on downfield routes. Davis-Robinson has the versatility to line up at multiple spots in the secondary, whether it’s at nickel, outside corner or safety.”
LSU set to add to impressive recruiting haul?
LSU is also in contention for some of the nation’s best prospects. All of them are set to announce on National Signing Day as well.
Five-star Ponchatoula (La.) safety Jacoby Mathews, five-star Cy Park (Tex.) linebacker Harold Perkins and four-star Lake Charles College Prep (La.) running back TreVonte’ Citizen are all huge LSU targets. The coaching staff also had four-star Ft. Bend (Tex.) Hightower wide receiver Caleb Douglas, three-star New Iberia (La.) Westgate tight end Danny Lewis and Davis-Robinson were in for official visits in January.
Does LSU have the best transition year class in history?
Brian Kelly’s staff has an impressive haul in the 2022 class. The staff reeled in elite transfer and high school talent in less than two months on the job.
So far, Florida International offensive lineman Miles Frazier, East Carolina long snapper Slade Roy, Arkansas safety Joe Foucha, Arkansas defensive back Greg Brooks, Louisiana defensive back Mekhi Garner, Notre Dame punter Jay Bramblett, Virginia linebacker West Weeks, Penn State running back Noah Cain, Louisiana wide receiver Kyren Lacy, East Tennessee State offensive lineman Tre’Mond Shorts, Missouri defensive lineman Mekhi Wingo and Oklahoma State defensive back Jarrick Bernard-Converse have all pledged to transfer to LSU.
From the high school ranks, LSU has 13 signees already on board. Four-star offensive lineman Will Campbell, four-star quarterback Walker Howard, four-star offensive lineman Emery Jones, four-star cornerback Laterrance Welch, four-star linebacker DeMario Tolan, four-star cornerback Jordan Allen, three-star wide receiver Landon Ibieta, three-star defensive lineman Tygee Hill, three-star tight end Mason Taylor, three-star offensive lineman Bo Bordelon, three-star offensive lineman Fitzgerald West and three-star kicker Nathan Dibert make up the 2022 recruiting class for LSU.
