Three-star defensive end Jaquon Griffin from Rome, GA announced Monday night that he has de-committed from LSU and has reopened his recruitment.

Griffin originally committed to LSU in April during the Tigers’ annual Spring Game.

The loss of Griffin puts the Tigers at 18 verbal commitments for the class of 2018 with the early signing period just 16 days away.

What the hell are you talking about,every game we play is on TV.espn is close to national tv

chinhoyang•100 months

This will start a flood of "commitments" reopening their recruiting.

Simply orgeron making room for better players to add to this signing class is all that is. The only reason we really offered him in the 1st place was to get the other 2 guys he plays with in hs. This is a good outcome for LSU. He wouldn't have ever been a major contributor here anyway I don't believe.

Hangit•100 months

He has small college size and speed. He will tear it up at Appalachian state. He is a strong kid but his size is off.

STRIPES•100 months

This kid is no loss. Would have been a wasted scholarship.

ImayGoLesMiles•100 months

Exactly, stripes. This kid wouldn't have seen the field here until maybe his senior season, if at all.

C’mon people, before shoving your .02$ in, follow the situation or at the very least; GOGGLE UP. As I see it, Dude has only one sec offer left. ANd they are coachless at the moment. Hint hint hint. He’s third best on his teams front seven. JEEZ

Looking at UGA likely

STRIPES•100 months

I doubt it.

Tiger in Texas•100 months

I think we all knew this was coming...not a problem

Mulerider•100 months

Dang it, lost a 3-star. I hope this doesn't crash the recruiting class.

FLObserver•100 months

My Guess is the coaches just quit calling him. He got the hint and decommitted. happens all the time.

Cadello•100 months

He did LSU a favor by de committing.

Fisherchef Jeff•100 months

Actually, he did himself a favor!

SamuelClemens•100 months

Rome GA? That's northwest near the Alabama and Tennessee borders. He winds up at UGA or Alabama

Fisherchef Jeff•100 months

In his dreams last night!

biglego•100 months

LSU probably encouraged him to look elsewhere

Fisherchef Jeff•100 months

Best de-commit I can remember, kid should thank LSU for the 3 stars; he had 0 when we offered the trio.

Spankum•100 months

No problem with that. try your hand at getting a better offer...you can always come back to LSU later...if your scholarship hasn't been filled by someone else.

Elleshoe•100 months

This is a “You should find another place to play” move

McLemore•100 months

"Well, he is from Georgia" Rome is a lot closer to Alabama than it is to Athens. Fwiw.

Fisherchef Jeff•100 months

Not very much

km•100 months

Gotta watch those package deals.

GaTiger27•100 months

Normally I’d say I’m not a ‘star gazer’ but it seems like he was just in the mix to get the other two. He has a very weak offer list. And that’s with a lot of exposure.

LSU FSU Grad•100 months

I'm sorry, but this seems a bit like it was encouraged. I mean, wasn't he the third of a trio we were trying to pull, with a really big fish LB? We offered all three with the hope of getting the one. We didn't get the big fish.
