LSU did not sign a cornerback in its 2018 recruiting class, but for the 2019 class, they now have two commitments. Three-star prospect Marcus Banks from Texas gave his verbal pledge to the Tigers during an official visit this past weekend. Banks joins four-star Memphis corner Maurice Hampton as one of 12 commitments for the 2019 class, which is ranked ninth nationally, according to 24-7 sports. LSU is also hoping to get a verbal pledge from the nation’s top cornerback, Derek Stingley. The Baton Rouge native will announce his decision June 20th.
