With uncertainty swirling about the future of coach Les Miles, LSU received bad news on Monday night as the 59th-ranked prospect in the ESPN 300, quarterback Feleipe' Franks, backed off of his verbal commitment to the Tigers.
Franks, a 6-foot-6, 219-pound pocket passer from Crawfordville (Wakulla, Florida) High School, had been committed to the Tigers since June 2014 and said he had been reconsidering the decision for about a month while discussing it with LSU.
"I have given this process a lot of thought and feel that it is only best for me to make my decommitment public," Franks said in a statement posted to his Twitter account.
