Four-star LSU linebacker target Tyler Dunning from Fort Lauderdale, FL announced Wednesday night via Twitter that he has committed to Mississippi State.

Dunning is rated the No. 9 inside linebacker in the country for 2017, according to ESPN and 247 Sports.

The news comes just a few days after Dunning was on LSU's campus for the spring day and month after the 6-1, 230-pound prospect included the Tigers in his top five schools.

Mississippi State was ironically not in Dunning's original top five...

Can we please stop with the stupid emotes? That's something only a junior high girl should put in her tweets. I swear everytime I read one of these article about a tweet the player puts 5 different emotes to their poorly written tweet. Embarrassing.

It was the Cowbells and Stingray. At Miss St, he will be forgotten.

He must've been really impressed with Mullen's finish time at the Boston Marathon

Wow, he just went completely left field. Don't think this commitment will last that long. Probably decommits a week before the Senior Bowl so he can commit again there...

I love how recruits say they are "committed" rather than "I will be attending" or "I will be playing college football for". It's obvious that committing is not choosing your school but for getting Twitter and media attention before you choose your school.

Why would anybody want to play at Mississippi State right now? They're in a serious rebuilding mode, while LSU has potentially one of the best all-around staffs in the nation. Aranda, Orgeron, and Craig will get you ready.

I think he has never been to Starksville. Must be a joke.

If they were not in his top 5 then that was probably an emotional decision and i wouldn't be surprised if he decommits
