For all of the positives [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] and the LSU staff have had on early signing day, this one is on the opposite end of the spectrum.
[autotag]Daylen Austin[/autotag] committed to LSU on May 16, but on Wednesday, he flipped his commitment and signed with the Oregon Ducks. The four-star cornerback is from Long Beach, California, where he played for Long Beach Poly, so the flip to Oregon takes him a lot closer to home.
With Austin now off the board, LSU looks towards Thursday when [autotag]Desmond Ricks[/autotag] plans to sign. If Ricks signs with LSU, it will take a lot of the sting away from losing such a great player.

LSU currently has five defensive backs signed for the 2023 class (two cornerbacks and three safeties). [autotag]Jeremiah Hughes[/autotag] is another LSU cornerback commit that has not signed yet. We will see how that plays out.
