And then there were three.
Phenix City, Alabama, cornerback John Broussard, the nation's No. 7 cornerback and the No. 4 player in Alabama, per 247Sports, announced Tuesday evening that he has narrowed his choices to Mississippi State, LSU and Auburn. The 4-star standout has 16 reported offers, seven of which represent the SEC.
Broussard said he will give his verbal commitment on May 7. He will be an SEC cornerback, but will he choose the in-state school closest to his immediate family, the out-of-state school that's close to additional family members or the school that's arguably recruited him the strongest?
