LSU football is doing all it can to stay in the battle for one of the nation’s top-rated 2022 defensive backs.

Four-star cornerback Earl Little Jr, 6-foot/175 lbs from Fort Lauderdale, FL (American Heritage), is ranked in 247Sports’ composite rankings as the No. 12 cornerback in the country and the No. 13 player in Florida.

Little is also rated as the No. 102 overall player in the 2022 recruiting class.

According to 247Sports, Alabama is the team to beat for Little.

“It sounds like the tide has started to turn in his recruitment and that Alabama might now be the team to beat for his signature,” writes 247Sports’ recruiting analyst Andrew Ivins.
