Four-star cornerback Jaylen Bell announced Friday that he has de-committed from LSU.

Bell, a 5-11, 160-pound prospect from Loganville, Ga. (Grayson High School), committed to LSU back in November of 2022.

His departure leaves LSU with nine verbal commitments for the class of 2025.

The takes on this forum are insane. When a 3 star DB commits, the sky is falling. When a 3 star DB de commits, he is a selfish kid chasing NIL money. The truth is he is an out of state kid who committed to the previous defensive staff. Now that the new staff is in place he was more than likely “processed.” 2 months ago the #1 safety in the 2025 class was not making visits to LSU. We are recruiting at a high level with the chance at landing the #1 class. The kid probably saw the writing on the wall, and decided to go somewhere else. I truly wish him all the best.

Exactly. At least let the kid save some face by making it seem like his choice. People should know this by now.

"Respect my Decision" .... only if he "respects my decision" not to care about his decision.

He was the first commit for the 2025 class and the lowest rated. This was not surprising. Best of luck to him, but this is not a big loss. LSU is in god shape for several more highly sought after DBs.

Did he imply God made a mistake or that God was not involved or he was not listening to God when he made his "Commitment" to LSU?

I do wish these kids would just take ownership when they change their minds. I doubt any higher power has any say in the matter. Man gives into temptation freely enough on his own.

Kid got processed. What ownership do you want him to take in a choice that wasn’t his?

Does anyone tell these kids that “respect my decision” makes them sound like an entitled douche?

I suspect that any high school athlete who call themselves "Hollywood" will be an entitled douche.

Who is telling these guys to write ‘respect my decision’? Not only have they not earned anything yet, they become another name on the long list of those we make fun of.

5’ 11” and a buck sixty? Has to be a typo. Someone that size couldn’t bring down a girl kicker.

I don’t care where he winds up. LSU will be fine. That said, respect my decision should get him kicked in the dick.

Don’t blame your inability to make a commitment on God. That’s just being pretentious.

Not shocking, he has been committed since 2022. Kids tend to change their minds as they get older. Good luck to him.

Its hard to take a commitment serious unless its within 6 months of their signing date.

He dropped in the 2025 On3 recruiting rankings from being the #43 CB to being the #55 CB. Not that this was a deciding factor from either him or from LSU, but LSU already has the #7 CB committed for 2025.
