One of the top defensive back prospects of the 2023 class is off the board as Javien Toviano has committed to LSU. The four-star chose to continue his football career with the Tigers over the likes of Texas, Texas A&M and Michigan.
The 247Sports composite rankings list the Arlington Martin product as the No. 6 cornerback in the country and the No. 9 overall recruit in the state of Texas.
Toviano is a 6-foot-0, 185-pound defensive back with the versatility to thrive anywhere in the secondary. In addition, he possesses excellent knowledge of the game and often finds himself around the ball. Landing Toviano’s commitment is a massive win for Brian Kelly and the LSU staff.
Texas will have to look elsewhere if they want to add to its defensive back class this cycle. They must act quickly, as the early signing period starts on Dec. 21.
