Stingley Jr, a 6-1, 195-pound prospect from Dunham School, was recently named the No. 1 prospect in the country for the class of 2019.

After signing just one defensive back in the 2018 class (4-star safety Kelvin Joseph) the Tigers now have three cornerbacks committed for the class of 2019 with Stingley Jr. and four-star prospects Marcus Banks and Maurice Hampton.

LSU now has a total of 13 verbal commits for the class of 2019.

Very nice commitment. A lot went into that an it was very mature and respectful. It put all the focus on the school he wanted and not the one he didn't want

Classy way to make announcement ... gave credit to his high school and emphasized that it was hard work that got him where he is ... and he did it without disrespecting the other programs that recruited him. Looking forward to watching this Tiger!
