Three-star linebacker Monty Rice was set to enroll early at LSU this month, but flipped his commitment from LSU to UGA just days before heading to Baton Rouge.
The move is not a major surprise though, as Rice was silently committed to the Bulldogs before deciding to join the Tigers’ recruiting class. LSU’s ability to “hold that tiger” was most certainly in question when it came to Rice’s commitment to the program.
Rice said his decision to leave the Bulldogs for the Tigers was due to the fact that LSU defensive coordinator Dave Aranda had waited at an Alabama airport to hear his final decision.
