The LSU Tigers have received a commitment from an All-American cornerback in each of the last two recruiting classes; Derek Stingley Jr. in 2019 and Eli Ricks in 2020.
Stingley Jr. had one of the best freshman campaigns of all-time in 2019 en route to LSU’s run to the national championship. Ricks already has two interceptions in the first three games of his collegiate career.
Now, the Tigers have another All-American cornerback for 2021 in four-star Nathaniel Wiggins.
Wiggins, a 6-foot-2, 170-pounder from Westlake High in Atlanta, received his jersey to the All-American Bowl this week.

The All-American Bowl is scheduled to be played on Jan. 9, 2021, in San Antonio, Texas, and broadcasted on NBC.
For Wiggins, it is a dream come true, as he told Shea Dixon of 247Sports.
“It really felt great to be selected and received my jersey,” Wiggins said. “It was like a dream come true.”
Wiggins committed to LSU back in August over offers from Alabama and Clemson, among others.
