Derek Stingley Jr.'s commitment boosts LSU's in-state recruiting

Derek Stingley Jr., the No. 67 ranked prospect in the class of 2019, is staying home for college

The 6-foot-1, 193-pound cornerback announced that he would be attending LSU over Florida and Texas on Wednesday afternoon.

I know I can't please everyone.. In my heart I truly feel this is the right place for me. I'm all in! 100% committed! Please respect my decision. pic.twitter.com/CX7exqfMww

While Stingley Jr. was long thought to be a heavy lean to the hometown university, gaining the public announcement for Ed Orgeron and staff is a needed shot in the arm having only picked up one commitment in June prior to Stingley's announcement.
