As former LSU recruiting coordinator Frank Wilson would say, identify the talent early...

And thats exactly what coaching staff did on Friday when they offered 2019 defensive back Derek Stingley Jr. who committed on the spot. Per The Advocate:
quote:

Stingley committed to LSU on Friday afternoon during the Tigers’ on-campus, three-day high school camp, becoming the program’s first verbal pledge in the 2019 class. Stingley, a 6-foot, 165-pound cornerback, tweeted the news Friday after a meeting with coach Les Miles and his parents.

“He came out and said, ‘We want to offer you right now,'” said Derek Stingley, Sr., Stingley’s father. “That’s the first or second thing he said to us. Derek immediately committed. For him, this is where he truly wanted to be.”

Stingley is LSU's first verbal commit for the 2019 class.

Already 6' 165 and just going to be a sophomore this year. Kid could blow up and I especially believe that if we offered him this early.
