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.

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

tigerMike•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”

Im4LSUnTN•66 months

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.

brewdrees•66 months

This is the reason i quit following recruiting. Smh.

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!

zoom•66 months

His statement is clear and he's being poetic. He's saying he wants to be here but it's not his decision

TheCajunRougarou•66 months

Gotta make room.

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.

TigerDM•66 months

Can’t say he is one of them, but we are definitely advising a few of our recruits to look elsewhere. This allows them to decommit instead of having the offer pulled so neither side looks bad

jmarto1•66 months

I like how these kids try to sound deep and intellectual

1 Call•66 months

So you believe black athletes can't be intellectual?! SMH...

CapitalCityTiger•66 months

I didn’t realize composing a well written information release was a bad thing

SoulGlo•66 months

1 call, where did anybody say anything about race....other than you?

Dammit Ferret Face!!!

zoom•66 months

I was looking forward to him playing in our colors. I like what he wrote. Hope he has success.

Godfather1•66 months

What a rambling mess of a statement. Somebody needs to call in Dr. Sidney Friedman to analyze this kid.

zed44•66 months

processed out

voodooidotwo•66 months

Sorry but he was purged to make room for others. I feel sorry for the kid but it’s what’s beat for the team. Besides his name is not good for a db

MaximillianPayne•66 months

Remember to respect his decision.

Fightin Okra•66 months

Someone in his ear about what we have coming back and coming in so they “guaranteeing” him playing time. And, probably some money too. He better hope he doesn’t Go to another SEC school or there will be some “Major Burns” with the receiving corps we got coming back

bj0969•66 months

See Lane Kiffin's tweet from earlier today! Both Ole Miss and Alabama in BTR today!

voodooidotwo•66 months

Well someone has to take our throw aways

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.

BertusTiger•66 months

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

LSUMANINVA•66 months

Actually not a good name for a CB at all
