One of the best prospects in the 2024 recruiting class is now one of the best prospects in the 2023 recruiting class.
On Saturday, five-star IMG Academy cornerback [autotag]Desmond Ricks[/autotag] is reclassifying and will sign with a program in the current recruiting cycle. Ricks was previously rated as the No. 2 prospect in the 2024 class and the highest-ranked non-quarterback, per the 247Sports Composite.
The lone Crystal Ball projection for Ricks is in favor of Florida State and Alabama is favored per the On3 RPM, but recently, the Tigers have been trending here. LSU is already on the verge of a top-five class, and landing a player like Ricks would likely put coach Brian Kelly’s group over the edge.

There’s currently no timetable for Ricks to announce a decision, as he said in his statement that he plans to take the next few months to mull things over.
