LSU football‘s 2022 recruiting class took a hit late last month when five-star defensive back Jacoby Mathews announced his decommitment from the Tigers.

“After deep consideration, my parents and I have thought a lot through and I have decided to decommit from Louisiana State University and re-open my recruitment,” tweeted the Ponchatoula, LA native.

Mathews, 6-foot-2/205 lbs, is rated in 247Sports’ composite rankings as the No. 2 safety in the country and the No. 26 overall player in the 2022 recruiting class.
