Top-ranked RB John Emery commits to in-state LSU

John Emery, the No. 14-ranked prospect in the class of 2019, is staying home for college.

The 5-foot-11, 202-pound top-ranked running back committed to in-state LSU on Tuesday night, less than a month after backing off a pledge to defending SEC champion Georgia.

Emery, the No. 2-ranked prospect in the Pelican State, originally committed to the Bulldogs in late July over Mississippi State, LSU, Florida State and many of the nation's most decorated programs.
