LSU cornerback target set to announce commitment Friday

The Tigers are one of five finalists for Kaleb Beasley.

[autotag]Kaleb Beasley[/autotag] is a six-foot, 179-pound cornerback from Nashville, Tennessee, where he stars for Lipscomb Academy.

The Mustangs are 8-0 this season and have a marquee win over Alabama 7A powerhouse, Thompson. Lipscomb Academy won the 2A state championship in Tennessee last year and they look like they are well on their way to running it back.

Recently, Beasley announced that he was going to make his college decision this Friday. He is choosing between five different schools as LSU, Tennessee, Notre Dame, Oklahoma and Clemson all made the cut for the talented cornerback. Tennessee is crystal balled to be the winner in this recruitment race by 247Sports, and the Vols are also the favorite per On3.

Nothing is set in stone yet, though, and [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] is known to have a few tricks up his sleeve and he has been able to flip a few recruits that were favored to go elsewhere.
