Vasha Hunt-USA TODAY Sports

Four-star LSU defensive back commit Major Burns from Baton Rouge has decommitted from the Tigers.

quote:
"I've enjoyed my time as a LSU commit, making a lot of lasting relationships along the way, but it's time to turn the page and move on to the next chapter. I am officially an uncommitted prospect."

Burns was a one-time Texas A&M commit but backed off his verbal pledge to the Aggies before committing to LSU in June. The Madison Prep Academy prospect is rated the No. 11 safety in the country for the class of 2020, according to 247 Sports.

The departure of Burns leaves LSU with 23 verbal commits for the class of 2020.

Damn...he may have a better name than Decoldest.

LSUMANINVA•66 months

Actually not a good name for a CB at all

rob62•66 months

Well, bye.

BigTimer23•66 months

Rob, you’re a moron.

Well.....bye

Hate to see LA talent, esp. BR talent “processed”

Scotcho Libre•66 months

I suspect he came to this decision on his own. It doesn't seem wise to "process" local athletes and burn bridges with their coaches who will be supplying your team with talent for years to come.

BayouBengals90•66 months

People have really used that crutch, lately. Making to a CFP doesn’t put us or anyone above a 4 star athlete. Not sure how much depth we have at S as it is, and Greene looks like he may be on the way out, too.

tigersquad89•66 months

So reading his statement it seems like he was processed. Most that decommit will usually say they aren’t closing the door on the school or something along those lines. He completely shut the door on it.

WhyMan•66 months

Time for a *5 Star in that spot!

Major Burns Must have got a hold of some bad gumbo.

TigerCoon•66 months

I hope they don't try to replace him with Major Winchester. I hate that guy.

Disgeaux Bob•66 months

Boorish cretin

Godfather1•66 months

This comment wins the internet for the day.

LSU Jax•66 months

LMFAO!! Fantastic!

Kracka•66 months

I really wish these kids would stop with trying to sound like philosopher's when they decommit.

ElEsYouTigahs•66 months

haha...so true. what he is said makes no sense but reads like he thinks he is wise beyond his years. I am guessing dude got a better offer $$$

BigTimer23•66 months

You have nothing to support that to even make it educated “guessing”

DavidLaFleurFanClub•66 months

Does anyone know if he was indeed “processed”. Seems like there have been several processed. Who are the guys coming in? Also does a recruit have to be processed in order to take a Grad Tansfer?

TaderSalad•66 months

Speculation mostly driving the processed tag. Undefeated and division champs. Team is looking positive and everyone wants to be here, yet we have 4 stars decommitting? Doesnt add up, therefore getting the "processed" tag.

ByUselves•66 months

Another 1 bites the dust. Being #1 gets you better recruits apparently...

Placebeaux•66 months

Let's be honest here, Major Burns is a horrible name for a DB.

tigerMike•66 months

LOL

Genestealer55•66 months

Good one lol

nola000•66 months

Good luck.

TheCajunRougarou•66 months

Gotta make room.

lsuohiofan•66 months

Why do we even go through this process? We work who wants to be here. These kids who have not played at the next level believe they have some power to ask for more perks. That is simply what it comes down to!

lsuohiofan•66 months

We are loaded with good young talent in DB/Corner positions. Nice to get more, but I think we are good for next year.

km•66 months

Exactly. We signed 4 CBs last year.

brewdrees•66 months

This is the reason i quit following recruiting. Smh.

Pianoman•66 months

Don't like the sound of all these 4* commits leaving...we have no guarantee of getting anything better down the road.

Flashback•66 months

We got Coach O, son. He is the recruit whisperer.

CapitalCityTiger•66 months

I’m pretty sure they aren’t cutting these kids loose without having something firm already. Remember that nowadays a verbal commitment doesn’t mean shite until they’re actually signed.

Buck Magnum•66 months

Dammit Ferret Face!!!

ElEsYouTigahs•66 months

i understand kids want to change, but that is a strange message he sent out. enjoyed his time as a commit but its time to turn the page? dont think this kid understand what commit means

RightHook•66 months

i don't think it was his choice.

CapitalCityTiger•66 months

I don’t think you understand why our three and four star commitments are dropping like flies...

theOG•66 months

Work on reading context clues.
