The LSU Tigers added four-star cornerback Jaelyn Davis-Robinson; he chose LSU over Oregon. Davis-Robinson ranks as the No.47 cornerback and No.71 in this year’s class according to the 247Sports composite.

Davis-Robinson ran track in high school, and he ran a 10.6 in the 100 meters. As a result, he will be able to run with just about every receiver on the college level. Another plus is Davis-Robinson is not scared to get physical at the line of scrimmage. As a result, he could be an outstanding press-man corner on the college level.

With his speed, even if he missed the jam at the line, Davis-Robinson would be able to recover quickly. But to play press-man at the college level, Davis-Robinson will need to get bigger. He is currently 175 pounds. So he must get in the weight room and get stronger. Also, Davis-Robinson must work on his off-man coverage to be a complete corner. To improve off-man, he will need to quickly get out of his breaks and learn how to read the quarterback.

Davis-Robinson could develop into a high-level corner if he comes in and works hard on his skills. He already is a physical player, so everything else should fall into place if he is coachable.

As the 2022 cycle is coming to a close next week, the LSU Tigers are making a late push for a handful of recruits. Recently three-star cornerback Jaelyn Davis-Robinson of Waxahachie, Texas, picked up a late offer from safeties coach Kerry Cooks.

Cornerback is one of the positions that was a priority for the staff. The team added Greg Brooks Jr of Arkansas and Mekhi Garner of ULL through the transfer portal. The team also signed Laterrance Welch in the 2022 recruiting cycle. Davis-Robinson is the latest offer at the position for this class that includes 13 signees.

Currently, Davis-Robinson appears to be down to three schools with Boston College and Oregon also being in the mix. According to his 247Sports profile, Davis-Robinson recently visited Eugene and is set to visit the LSU Tigers on Jan. 28. The staff is also expected to host five-star linebacker Harold Perkins on that date as well.

It will be the final opportunity to make their pitch to the handful of recruits waiting to make their commitment decisions on Feb. 3.
