At one point, four-star running back TreVonte’ Citizen was one of Texas’ primary targets as a complimentary running back to Jaydon Blue in their 2022 recruiting class.
When the Longhorns instead landed a commitment from four-star running back Jamarion Miller on June 28, the general feel was that Citizen would decide between LSU, Auburn and Texas A&M.
On Monday, Citizen officially decided to stay close to home and announced his commitment to LSU. He is rated the No. 9 overall prospect from the state of Louisiana and the No. 11 running back for the 2022 cycle according to 247Sports.

“I’m excited to compete against, and with the best in the country. We’re bringing a national title back to Louisiana,” Citizen stated when announcing his commitment.
Citizen played both sides of the ball for Lake Charles College Prep in 2020 and rushed the ball 62 times for 615 yards and eight touchdowns. He added on five receptions for 48 yards through the air.
