LSU football leads for 2021 safety from Florida

LSU football is the leader for 2021 safety Dakota Mitchell, according to Rivals’ Mike Farrell.

Mitchell hasn’t been rated by Rivals (he’s a three-star safety according to 247Sports), but his offer sheet suggests he could be an elite player at the next level.

The Florida native holds offers from Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Florida, Georgia, Oklahoma and Tennessee, along with LSU and many others.

Unrated/three-star recruits don’t typically have that type of offer sheet (another reason that recruiting rankings aren’t the gospel).

Mitchell, who recently put Florida and Georgia in his top three (with LSU), was scheduled to take an unofficial visit to Athens next week.
