Five-star cornerback to visit LSU this weekend

A big-time visitor is set to be on LSU’s campus this weekend as Desmond Ricks will be in town ahead of an official visit in December.

According to On3, LSU will have a high-priority recruiting target on campus this weekend.

Five-star cornerback [autotag]Desmond Ricks[/autotag] is set for an unofficial visit against the Alabama Crimson Tide. He also has an official visit to Baton Rouge planned in December.

Once a part of the 2024 class, Ricks chose to reclassify to 2023 last month. Per the 247Sports Composite Rankings, Ricks is the second-best corner in the class, behind Cormani McClain, a Miami commit.

LSU has three corners committed this cycle, the highest ranked being [autotag]Daylen Austin[/autotag], a four-star from California. Austin is joined by a couple of three-stars in [autotag]Jeremiah Hughes[/autotag] and [autotag]Ashton Stamps[/autotag].

Rebuilding the secondary has been a priority since Kelly took the job at LSU and the Tigers could be set to lose significant pieces again next year, with [autotag]Mekhi Garner[/autotag] and [autotag]Jarrick Bernard-Converse[/autotag] likely both headed to the NFL.
