The early signing period is never without surprises and big moments, and this year was no different for LSU football, who saw Mississippi State wide receiver commitment Malik Nabers flip his pledge from the Bulldogs to the Tigers on Wednesday.
Ed Orgeron consistently stresses recruiting in the state of the Louisiana, and considering the four-star wideout calls Lafayette home, this is a big win for his program.
The 6-foot, 190-pounder originally committed to Mississippi State back in July, and held offers from a number of prestigious programs including Penn State, Notre Dame, Michigan and Texas among others.

Nabers is currently ranked as the No. 147 overall prospect in the country, the No. 18 overall receiver in the nation and the No. 6 overall prospect in the state of Louisiana, according to 247 Sports.
He’s the second player to flip from Mississippi State to LSU, along with junior college linebacker Navonteque Strong.
