re: Boom...Derek Stingley Jr. Commits to LSU!!!

Because Stingley goes to a school that is pre-K through 12th grade, he was able to join the varsity while in eighth grade. Smooth in coverage, a physical tackler, and a threat to score every time he touches the ball, Stingley made an impact right away and now he’s as dominating a prospect as there is in the country. The 247Sports Composite ranks him as the No. 8 player regardless of position. He’s the jewel of an LSU class that rises five spots to No. 10 in the 247Sports Team Rankings.

“He’s an outstanding young man,” Weiner said. “He always handles himself with class and character. All the intangibles away from the football field make him a great young man and prospect.”

Physically, not many defensive backs can cover the way Stingley does at his size. His speed is documented, and he has a 42-inch vertical to go with it. His quick twitch burst to the ball is special, and whether it’s instincts or being prepared, Stingley typically plays mistake-free, flawless football.

“He’s very calculated as a defensive back,” Weiner added. “He doesn’t take a lot of chances. Very rarely does he not break on the ball and not intercept it. I’ve yet to see him get beat.”

With Stingley in the fold, Ed Orgeron and his staff have a chance to land a special group, headlined by what could be the best defensive back class in the country. Stingley is commit No. 12 joining fellow in-state five-star in offensive lineman Kardell Thomas. Four-star cornerback Maurice Hampton and touted Lone Star State cornerback Marcus Banks are also in the fold. Beyond those names, Orgeron, defensive coordinator Dave Aranda, Corey Raymond and company would love to add the No. 1 JUCO cornerback in the country Elijah Blades, four-star Joey Porter Jr. and flip Cordell Flott from Auburn.

Former LSU coach Les Miles offered Stingley his freshman year and he committed to the Tigers in June of 2016. He reopened the process nearly a year later but never strayed too far. Now he’s back in the fold and Orgeron would be hard-pressed to land a better player in 2019. Stingley is as good as it gets in this rising senior class.
