LSU football received some tough news 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,” said Mathews in a tweet.
Mathews, 6-foot-2/200 lbs from Ponchatoula, LA, is rated in 247Sports’ composite rankings as the No. 2 safety in the country and the No. 3 player in Louisiana (Rivals has Mathews as the top player in Louisiana).
