LSU football is one of the teams to beat for a 2021 three-star defensive back.

Dontae Balfour recently revealed his top three schools to Rivals and the Tigers made the cut, along with Auburn and North Carolina.

Balfour, 6-foot-2/170 lbs from Starke, FL (Bradford), is rated by 247Sports as the No.
