He doesn't want to be at LSU and I doubt he ever did. Committed to them as a safety net so he can go visit around finding the biggest payday. Rumor mill always made it seem like Tennessee was the quiet leader but Miami and Ole Miss will pay for his services.

Tennessee bound unless Ole Miss keeps him at home.

If the NIL is relatively close he will be a Tiger. He loves LSU but we will see.

I have said this once and will say it again. Kenny Darby is going to continue to rise in these rankings as outdoor track, the 7v7 scene, and camp circuit progresses. He is going to absolutely dominate his senior year and will post some eye popping stats. The film matches the production with this kid and he is no doubt the most ready Louisiana wide receiver to make an instant impact at the next level from a skill set standpoint.

He'll probably be a football/basketball kid.

For what it is worth, he hasn’t bothered participating in the camp scene the last two summers so he’s avoided running the 40 in front of college coaches. Relying solely on stats and film for recruitment. He doesn’t run track so no track times to legitimize his speed and there’s no way to really know how fast he is when he plays against a very weak Cenla/Lake Charles 4A district. In the 2 games he played this year against a decent defense (Iowa/ED White) he was held under 150 yards rushing. I personally think he’s a great back but the caliber of schools he’s being recruited by is about what he is until he proves himself otherwise because when he jumps up a level and the talent on the field is better, he won’t just be able to bully everyone.

Three years of eligibility remaining

His speed pops when you watch him play and that element of his game is intriguing to me. But he needs a good bit of development to be SEC ready and his hand strength is a question mark to me when it comes to making contested catches. Also, he is not 6 ft when you see him in person.

He could and probably should have played running back at 6 ft
