LSU cracks the final 4 for top 8 2023 safety

Ryan Yaites announced a top four of Michigan State, Texas Tech, California and the Tigers.

LSU coach Brian Kelly could be poised to come away with one of the top players in the state of Texas in the 2023 recruiting cycle. Guyer (Denton, Texas) safety Ryan Yaites released his top four, and the Tigers are among those on that list. They’re joined by Texas Tech, Michigan State and California.

Yaites, a four-star recruit and the No. 133 player (No. 8 safety) in the 2023 class per the 247Sports Composite, was offered by LSU under the previous staff back on May 11 of last year. He camped with the program the following June, but he hasn’t been back on campus since.

The 6-foot-1-inch, 175-pound defensive back has been a target for a number of top schools, but he also picked up some late interest. The Golden Bears, for example, only offered him on Jan. 27.

The biggest challenger for the Tigers could prove to be the in-state Red Raiders, who have a head coach in Joey McGuire that is well connected in the Texas high school scene, especially in the Dallas area.

Here are the updated rankings and information for Yates.

2023 Denton Guyer safety drops his top eight schools

LSU is among the top eight for a physical 2023 defensive back.

One of the top safeties in the 2023 class, Ryan Yaites released his top eight schools for recruitment. The LSU Tigers and Ole Miss Rebels make up the only SEC schools on the list for the Texas product. The Texas Longhorns and Texas Tech Red Raiders are the only in-state competition for the top 10 players in the Lone Star State.

Yaites shows exceptional ball-hawking skills at the position which leads you to believe he can play in one-on-one coverage and not just a safety playing single-high coverage. Some view him as a cornerback at the next level.

“He’s a big, physical cornerback for us,” Gallegos said of Yaites, who the Irish are looking at as a cornerback. “People shied away from throwing against him earlier in the year, which brought Peyton’s younger brother, Eli, to light. He plays opposite of Ryan. A lot of people stayed away from Ryan because of his coverage skills.” – Mike Gallegos, Denton Guyer recruiting coordinator
