Brian Kelly’s 2024 recruiting class got even better as the Tigers landed a four-star cornerback who is a top-100 player in the country.
[autotag]Cai Bates[/autotag] is a 6-foot-2, 180-pound, four-star cornerback from Orlando where he plays for Edgewater High School. Bates was down to seven schools: Alabama, LSU, Florida State, Colorado, Tennessee, Ohio State and Texas A&M.
He chose the Tigers over everyone else. Why? Because in his opinion, LSU is DBU (Defensive Back University).
With his commitment, Bates becomes the 20th recruit of the 2024 class and the fourth cornerback in the class ([autotag]Wallace Foster[/autotag], [autotag]Ondre Evans[/autotag] and [autotag]Ju’Juan Johnson[/autotag]) This commitment has not moved the class into the top 10 yet but there are more opportunities for Kelly to land more talented recruits.
No matter how you look at it, this is a big get for LSU. Bates has the talent to help LSU on day one of the 2024 season.
