Five-Star LSU Commit to Visit Four SEC Foes

On Monday, On3 announced that Keys has lined up visits with five SEC schools: LSU, Auburn, Alabama, Tennessee and Texas A&M. The five-star hails from the state of Mississippi, but does not have a visit with Ole Miss or Mississippi State planned as of today.

In today's college football world, late decommitments and flips are quite common. It's hard for fans to get super excited about a five-star commit, especially when they make their decision as early as Keys did. Money comes flying in from all these other programs over the months leading up to signing day and anything can happen.

Last year, LSU lost out on five-star receiver Dakorien Moore to Oregon after they threw a bunch of money at him. More notably, they also lost out on five-star quarterback Bryce Underwood in the eleventh hour after Michigan assembled a massive NIL deal for the in-state star.

The Tigers have more NIL money to spend this year than last year, so holding onto Keys should be an easier task than Moore or Underwood, but there is still a very long way to go in his recruitment. Auburn, Alabama, Tennessee and Texas A&M are going to roll out the red carpet and offer him a lot of money to flip, so we'll have to see if he'll stick with the Tigers or if Brian Kelly will be a victim of another five-star flip.
